3-Barrels: Idris Elba to Join Molly’s Game; Arnaud Mimran Trial; Kingston Bust

3-Barrels of a criminal flavour including the rumours that Idris Elba will be joining Molly’s Game cast; former high-stakes poker player Arnaud Mimran facing the beak, and the law spoils the fun for poker players in Kingston.

Idris Elba is set to star alongside Jessica Chastain in Aaron Sorkin’s movie adaptation of Molly’s Game: from Hollywood’s Elite to Wall Street’s Billionaire Boys Club, My High-Stakes Adventure in the World of Underground Poker according to Variety.

Elba is in discussions to play the role of Molly Bloom’s criminal defence lawyer. Chastain is in negotiations to play the lead role of Molly. The biopic follows the tale of a former Olympic wannabe Bloom, who by hook and crook found herself as the host of one of the most controversial high-stakes poker games in history.

Millions of dollars passed through billionaire business owners, and Hollywood celebrities such as Ben Affleck, Tobey Maguire, and Leonardo DiCaprio, until the FBI shut the game down and arrested Bloom.
