Internet Gambling Flick ‘Runner Runner’ to Premier This September

Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake will star in the September 2013 release of Runner, Runner, a film about an offshore Internet gambling operator (Affleck) and his student gambler (played by Timberlake). 

The film is directed by Brad Furman with Leonardo DiCaprio as producer.

Gambling911.com had alerted its readers last summer that filming was taking place throughout San Juan, Puerto Rico with the stars regularly frequenting the Marriott Resort. 

Affleck runs the online gambling site, Timberlake’s character looses his Princeton tuition to the online gambling site, and the rest is history...

It remains to be seen as to whether the film will help reinvigorate the Internet gambling and poker industry, especially in light of legalization at the state level in recent months.
