Zak Penn is to direct a comedy about an international poker tournament that will star Ben Affleck, David Schwimmer,Richard Kind, William H. Macy, and director Werner Herzog.
Penn said that $10 million film was inspired by Christopher Guest's mockumentaries and Larry David's improvised series Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Each cast member will be presented with a fully formed character but be expected to improvise most of the scenes. He is currently looking for other card playing actors to fill roles.
Filming is due to start in February in the Golden Nugget casino, Vegas.
