“Poker Face,” Screen Media's Winning Hand: A Look Back at the Liam Hemsworth and Russell Crowe Thriller
As reported by Variety in 2022, the thrilling duo of Liam Hemsworth and Russell Crowe set the screen ablaze with their high-stakes performance in "Poker Face". The tense thriller was picked up by Screen Media, a division of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, who held the North American rights.
"Russell Crowe's Directorial Prowess Meets Liam Hemsworth's Dynamic Act"
"It’s exciting to have the top-notch team at Screen Media come on board to distribute ‘Poker Face’ and introduce this incredible movie to audiences in the U.S.", stated Arclight Films chairman Gary Hamilton, brimming with enthusiasm for the venture.

Coates and Russell Crowe, challenged the characters to risk their deepest secrets for a chance at astronomical riches. This tantalising balance between risk and reward was perfectly embodied by the captivating Liam Hemsworth, whose stellar performance added a new dimension to the narrative.
"We’re thrilled to be working with Russell and the Arclight team on this thrill-ride of a movie." enthused David Fannon, chief acquisitions and distribution officer at Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, further adding fuel to the anticipatory fire.
The film, beyond Crowe and Hemsworth, boasted an impressive ensemble including Wu-Tang Clan's RZA and "Fast and Furious" star Elsa Pataky, making it a must-see cinematic spectacle.
