MODINE TO PLAY MURDERED CASINO HEIR

MATTHEW MODINE and MENA SUVARI are to star in a new movie that examines the mysterious death of Las Vegas casino heir TED BINION.

Matthew Modine at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival Vanity Fair Party at the State Supreme Courthouse. New York City, USA - 22.04.08

Binion - heir to the Binion Horseshoe Casino fortune - was found dead, aged 54, in his Sin City home in 1998, after suffering a drug overdose.

His death was initially treated as suicide, but his partner Sandy Murphy and her lover Rick Tabish were later arrested for murder - after Tabish was discovered attempting to unearth a secret buried desert vault containing tens of millions of dollars in silver bullion money and casino chips.

They were tried, convicted and jailed, but later cleared of murder by a second trial; instead being found guilty of lesser charges of burglary.

Full Metal Jacket star Modine will play Binion, while American Pie star Suvari will play Murphy in TV movie Sex + Lies in Sin City. The film will premiere on U.S. TV's Lifetime network in September (08).
