Paul Walter Hauser as game show contestant Michael Larson in Press Your Luck.
The Big Picture A bearded Paul Walter Hauser is facing the big board in the first image from the game show drama Press Your Luck. Based on a true story, the film will star Hauser as Michael Larson, an unemployed ice cream truck driver who gamed the system to win a fortune on the 1980s game show of the same name. The Hollywood Reporter has the first look at the film, which is currently in post-production.
The film stars Larson as a TV addict who realized that the seemingly-random patterns on the electronic "big board" of the game show Press Your Luck were in fact not random, and he could memorize them to win big prizes and avoid the cartoon "Whammies". Afterward, however, things get complicated, as the network scrambles to avoid embarrassment and Larson proves to be spectacularly unwise with his money.
Who is Paul Walter Hauser? Close Born in Michigan, the imposing Hauser gained attention with showy supporting roles in I, Tonya, BlacKkKlansman, and Late Night before breaking out as the title scapegoat security guard in Clint Eastwood's Richard Jewell. He subsequently starred in Da 5 Bloods, Cruella, and Silk Road, and won an Emmy for his chilling performance as serial killer Larry Hall in the Apple TV+ miniseries Black Bird. He also stars on the TV series Cobra Kai and The Afterparty.
Press Your Luck was directed by Samir Oliveros , who also co-wrote the script with Maggie Briggs . The film comes from Protagonist Pictures and Plenty Good. Press Your Luck is currently in post-production; no release date has yet been set. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
