"...what I hear is that the studio is definitely going to try for Eric Bana again, and if he decides to give it a pass, they will explore other boys for the role, but probably not Brendan or Dominic. "

Mona's Thoughts: Eric Bana's contract was with Universal but Marvel is producing the sequel without Universal. So, Bana is not under contract for this follow up. He has stated many times that he is very interested in doing a sequel. The thing is, if they don't do it as a sequel and completely redo it as Marvel has said, where will he stand?

In 'Lucky You', director Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential, Wonder Boys, 8 Mile) brings us a story based in the world of high-stakes Las Vegas poker.

Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) is a blaster—a player who goes all out, all the time. But in his personal relationships, Huck plays it tight, expertly avoiding emotional commitments and long-term expectations.

When Huck sets out to win the main event of the 2003 World Series of Poker—and the affections of Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore), a young singer from Bakersfield—there is one significant obstacle in his path: his father, L.C. Cheever (Robert Duvall), the poker legend who abandoned Huck's mother years ago.

As these two rivals progress toward a final showdown at the poker table, Huck learns that to win in the games of life and poker, he must try to play cards the way he has been living his life and live his life the way he has been playing cards.
