An upcoming thriller, The Highest Stakes, is all set to be headlined by Dylan Walsh, Seth Green, and Charlie Weber. The film comes from Steven Paul of SP Media Group.
The Highest Stakes revolves around five unknown men who come together for a high-stakes game of poker. Little do they know that the game and the night they spend playing it are not as straightforward as they think they are. The stakes get higher as it becomes more about surviving than winning.
Based on a story by Paul, who is also the producer, The Highest Stakes is helmed by Tony Dean Smith from a script penned by Gary Preisler. Paramount Global Content Distribution is to distribute the film next year.
