Ben Affleck Reviews, Interviews & More
Terrence Malick - cinema's greatest mystery man - won last year's Palme d'Or at Cannes for The Tree of Life, and with another film in the can it was wondered if his latest would play at the fest.

Ben Affleck's Argo looks like a crazy-awesome, intense semi-comedy. Whatever one expected of the auteur behind Gone Baby Gone and The Town, it's hard to guess this would be the project.

Well, it looks like the star-studded cast of Baz Luhrman’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby might just get a little bigger—in addition to nabbing Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Tobey Macguire as narrator Nick Carraway, and Carrie Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, Luhrman just might be able to add Ben Affleck to the cast as Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s husband, if Affleck’s schedule can...

Aside from Jason Reitman's Up In The Air, Oliver Stone's Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps and a couple of snooze-worthy doc's, few filmmakers have utilized our current economic climate on the project-front.

At the time Christian Bale was set to star in one of the lead roles along with Rachel McAdams, Olga Kurylenko, and Javier Bardem and now according to a report from The Wrap, Bale is out and Ben Affleck is in.
