After signing a worldwide distribution deal for 10 Rogers-starring films, including the Gambler franchise, Shout! Factory began developing an update of the property in which they will produce through their in-house original content unit Shout! Studios.
The original film, released in 1980, saw rave reviews from critics and audiences and spawned a 14-year franchise that included four sequels.
The Gambler movie series and his films have already proven to be highly popular with fans and viewers over the years.
“As far as legacies go, The Gambler is a doozy,” Brent Haynes, Head of Original Content Development at Shout!, said in a statement.
