Viola Davis & Yahya Abdul-Mateen II To Lead Amazon 'House of Games'
EXCLUSIVE: Viola Davis (Fences, The Woman King) and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Watchmen, Aquaman) are set to star and produce in a reimagining of the 1987 MGM feature film House of Games, which is in development at Amazon MGM Studios. The actors will produce through their respective production banners, Davis for Juvee Productions alongside Julius Tennon and Melanie Clark, and Abdul-Mateen II for House Eleven10.
David Mamet wrote the original feature, which also served as his directorial debut. It follows psychiatrist Margaret Ford (Lindsay Crouse), who gets caught up in the world of gambling while trying to help one of her patients, Mike Mancuso (Joe Mantegna), deal with anxiety.
‘House of Games’ Remake to Star Viola Davis, Yahya Abdul-Mateen, But Without David Mamet
This year’s 12th edition of the Scary Movies festival at Film at Lincoln Center premiered Ari Aster’s extended version of “Midsommar” this past Saturday.
According to Deadline, Amazon/MGM Studios is pressing forward with a “reimagining” of David Mamet’s 1987 neo-noir “House of Games,” with Viola Davis and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II set to star.
The new version is said to be a “modern reinterpretation,” which, if you’ve been paying attention to the state of studio cinema lately, should immediately raise red flags.
More troubling is the fact that this is not only a remake, but most likely a total rewrite of the original script. The new “House of Games” will be devoid of Mamet’s pen and, worse, stripped of the very thing that made the original a stone-cold classic: Mamet’s script, his unmistakable voice.

According to Deadline, Viola Davis and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are set to star in a reimagining of House of Games, which is in development at Amazon MGM Studios. Additionally, the actors will produce the remake through their respective production banners, Juvee Productions and House Eleven10.
