It’s possible “The Madison Kid” movie may be shot somewhere other than Madison. Adding insult, it is likely to be renamed.
The script, optioned by Beacon Pictures, tells the story of Phil Hellmuth Jr., the Madison native turned international poker star. The new name may be “Poker Brat,” based on Hellmuth’s well-known moniker. (He told me earlier this year that Madison Kid is his “second-favorite nickname after Poker Brat.”)
