Regardless, It all seems to be water under the bridge as Schrader has found a way to cast Isaac in another movie. The play stars as William Tell in Schrader’s upcoming “The Card Counter.” We now have our “first look” at the film, courtesy of Isaac’s character, a compulsive gambler, and former soldier  (via Deadline). The official synopsis for the “The Card Counter”: A longtime contact and friend for Schrader’s sent me a message in Early March raving about the new project. “I was sent the screenplay for “The Card Counter,” he wrote in the message. Adding, “It’s one of his best. As good or better than “First Reformed” or “Light Sleeper.” It’s “Hard Eight” meets “Abu Ghraib with “Rolling Thunder” echoes.” In early March, production had to be halted on “The Card Counter,” due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led an angry Schrader to call his producers “pussies” on Facebook. There were just six days left to shoot on the film. Schrader confirmed to Deadline that the film is expected to complete its production by July HanWay Films has acquired international sales rights and will commence sales at the upcoming American Film Market. I presume A24, who distributed ‘Reformed,’ may be very interested in distributing “The Card Counter.” Contribute Hire me
