Still high in demand, Laurence Fishburne is reportedly close to reach deal to have a starring role in Columbia Pictures' thriller project "21."

An adaptation of Ben Mezrich's best-selling nonfiction book "Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions", the picture concerns a group of young men who become experts in the art of card counting. If everything goes smooth for Fishburne, the actor will likely be billed as a Vegas security chief who hunts down the group.
