Lights, Camera, Cigars

The official site/blog for Blowing Smoke has been active for sometime now, however I haven’t heard a thing about it until this morning (thanks to a post by Cigar Jack). The movie stars what seems to be a list of small screen actors and Estella Warren who you may remember from such screen gems as Driven, Planet of the Apes remake (Tim Burton, one question, why??) and everyone’s favorite, Kangaroo Jack.

The story revolves around a night of poker and cigars until in walks Estella to throw a wrench in the works. The official synopsis is this:

Late one night, eight guys are sitting around at a cigar club in Beverly Hills, smoking cigars, playing high-stakes poker and complaining about how men always seem to get screwed-over by women. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door.

From the looks of the trailers, the entire film seems to be set in one location revolving around much dialogue, seeming like a cross between Mamet and Tarantino films. The official site is something pretty unique, for it’s basically a launch pad for a blog. It could be a good time, but only time will tell. From what I can see, there’s no official release date, and it doesn’t seem to me that we’ll be seeing this on the big screen anytime soon. Check it out by clicking on the smoking legs below.
