It's been well covered here that the new trend in Hollywood is to make movies with built in pre-awareness. From
Transformers to the upcoming
Battleship and
Candyland movies, studios have been mining old titles and toy shelves for ideas and the latest has just been announced:
Solitaire, a game which anyone with a deck of cards or a Windows based operating system knows well.
Taking cue from James Franco's nearly solo performance in
127 Hours, Matt Damon will make a play for Oscar gold in his performance as a young man who is led to the brink of madness after he becomes trapped in a room with nothing but a deck of playing cards.
Solitaire is scheduled to begin shooting this fall for a release sometime next year.
