Filmmaker Mike Young is betting on an indie film about the real-life gambler known as Vegas Matt.
Red Leaf Entertainment is developing The Chop, a rags-to-riches drama movie that has set Young to pen the script and produce. The feature is inspired by the true story of Stephen Matt Morrow, aka Vegas Matt, and his path to becoming an advantage slot player and gambling influencer with more than 1.6 million YouTube subscribers.
The Chop is eyeing a 2027 production start and has not yet announced a director. Additional financing, production and casting details are set to be shared at a later date.
