Catherine Zeta Jones has entered negotiations to play a role in Stephen Frear’s forthcoming gambling movie ‘Lay The Favorite’.

The Welsh actress who recently received a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) for services to the film industry and charity has started negotiations for the project about a legendary gambler (Bruce) who tries to figure out a way of beating the Las Vegas betting system.

‘The Town’ star Rebecca Hall is also set to be involved in the project, which will be directed by British filmmaker Stephen Frears.

D.V. De Vincentis has written the script and will produce alongside Emmett Furla, Paul Trijbits and Anthony Bregman, with Curtis Jackson as an executive producer.
