New Info a bout ''Lay the Favorite''movie,
The project is based on the memoirs of Beth Raymer, who started off as a cocktail waitress in Vegas, before becoming one of the world’s top professional gamblers. When she fell in love, however, she started to rethink her lifestyle. Hall will play Raymer, with Willis as Dink Heimowitz, her mentor—there’s no word on Jackson’s role, but we assume it would be Hall’s love interest. It’s most likely the role that Justin Timberlake was previously reported as being in the running for—there’s been no confirmation on his presence, or that of Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was linked to the project
This is from a article about joshua Jackson being a part of the cast
