Viola Davis & Yahya Abdul-Mateen II To Lead & Produce Reimagination Of David Mamet’s ‘House of Games’ At Amazon MGM Studios

[Shaka Zulu]

Yeah, House of Games is being rebooted at MGM (owner of the catalog of Orion Pictures, which released the original) with these two actors in the roles originally performed by Lindsay Crouse and Joe Mantenga:

Viola Davis (Fences, The Woman King) and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Watchmen, Aquaman) are set to star and produce in a reimagining of the 1987 MGM feature film House of Games, which is in development at Amazon MGM Studios. The actors will produce through their respective production banners, Davis for Juvee Productions alongside Julius Tennon and Melanie Clark, and Abdul-Mateen II for House Eleven10. David Mamet wrote the original feature, which also served as his directorial debut. It follows psychiatrist Margaret Ford (Lindsay Crouse), who gets caught up in the world of gambling while trying to help one of her patients, Mike Mancuso (Joe Mantegna), deal with anxiety.
