Just days after he gave the BBC a Teddy KGB impersonation and mentioned how much fun was had filming Rounders nearly TWENTY YEARS ago, Matt Damon’s appearance at the Rich Eisen Show aired this week, and he revealed what a possible follow-up film can be about.

Eisen: What about Rounders? What’s going on?

Damon: That we have got mentioned. [Brian] Koppelman and [David] Levien, who wrote it, they have got a very good idea for a Rounders story, and that may be a captivating thing as a result of what’s happened in poker. Now, with the web [game], these guys and gals who're playing, this young generation, they begin playing when they’re of their adolescence. They’re taking a look at 10 hands at a time, playing for real money online. By the point they’re 21, they’ve seen millions and millions and millions of hands…It’s now gone into deep game theory. It’s at an entire other level. It’s only a very, very different game.”

Interestingly, Koppelman and Levien already wrote a movie about online poker. The movie Runner Runner, which starred Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake, came out in 2013.

As everyone knows, Black Friday largely shut down online poker in America in 2011.

Damon added that it'd be “interesting to see” Mike McDermott and Teddy KGB “come into that new world.” Over the last several years worth of Rounders 2 rumors, the potential for John Malkovich returning hasn’t been mentioned before.

Edward Norton, who played “Worm” within the original film, could also be enthusiastic about a sequel. Norton told David Letterman in 2014 that he couldn’t visit Las Vegas for awhile after the movie became so popular because people were stopping him at all times and yelling “Worm!”

“We couldn’t have had more fun making that movie,” said Norton, who recently agreed to play poker to assist the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. “That was top-of-the-line gangs of individuals ever.”
