"When I met Molly, she really was a real-life hero," Sorkin said.

"His integrity, being able to discern what is right and wrong, doing what is right, is certainly doing what is wrong is much easier and more profitable, which is what I like to write," he added.

Jessica Chastain admired Bloom's tenacity. "What I like about Molly is that she looks weak, but whatever happens, she always gets up, it's a quality I really admire."

Molly Bloom, who attended the premiere of the film said that the movie about her immediately made her feel very flattered.

"Halfway through the first scene, I was fully entertained, Sorkin invited me out of myself, watched a movie about me, with problems that burdened me, so it was an incredible moment," said Bloom.

Meanwhile, actor Idris Elba highly praised Chastain - "We love each other, he is a great actress" - but he admitted nervous before filming this movie.

"I'm nervous," he said. "I love dialogue, like most actors, but Aaron Sorkin is very special, has a rhythm, a poem-like rhythm, we have to really learn, remember and live it, so I'm nervous," Idris Elba admitted.

The movie Molly's Game played in American theaters on Christmas Day on December 25 while in England the next day on December 26th.
