We toyed around with the idea of an HBO open-ended series. And then George Gallo and Andy talked about it and we had a meeting and I was convinced that having George and Andy agree write together and then having George direct was a better shot than most films. So I went ahead and hired those guys to write a screenplay and worked with them on it. They knocked the screenplay out in like three months. We did a lot of work on it and continued to develop it and decided I’d finance the film.

For somebody that is in this industry and who knows what it means to scrub your traffic and target your niche correctly, he really missed the ball on this one.
As for the gambling news... That is actually old news from years ago. The article is taking a timeline of data and presenting it as though it is all happening right now.
