WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

DESCRIPTION:

Academy Award winner Matt Damon (The Bourne Supremcy) and Edward Norton (The Italian Job) star in this story of passion, risk and the extreme price of friendship! After losing a high-stakes card game, Mike (Damon) gives up gambling for law school and a fresh start with his girlfriend (Gretchen Mol (Cradle Will Rock). But then his best buddy (Norton) gets out of prison and in over his head with a ruthless card shark (John Malkovich - Being John Malkovich). From there, Mike's strong sense of loyalty - and the lure of the game - draws him back to the tables in a game he cannot afford to lose! Also starring John Turturro (O, Brother Where Art Thou?) and Oscar winner Martin Landau (Ed Wood).

The character of Worm was originally written as a chain smoker, however when Edward Norton was cast this was changed as Norton refused to do any scenes where he had to smoke.
Despite the fact that movie is suppsoed to be set in New York City, all of the scenes at the law school were actually filmed at Rutgers University in Newark, NJ.
