I wanted a thousand of those shots to be able to build those poker scenes and make them exciting and always make them ultimately anchored by, it’s not about the poker game, it’s about Molly watching the poker game.
There is no scene in the movie in which we care who wins or loses a hand.
I wanted to set up micro shots.
Chips, money, cards, decks being cut, cards being shuffled, ice going into glasses, cigarettes being lit, more money, more cards, folding, raising, that kind of thing.
