Ben Affleck may direct Ben Affleck in movie modeled after first-person shooter games
Arguably the new Scorsese/De Niro, director Ben Affleck has certainly found his muse in actor Ben Affleck, with their complementary rhythms and shorthand communication really bringing out the best in each other in films like The Town and the upcoming Argo. Ben Affleck just gets Ben Affleck, and now it looks as though Ben Affleck and Ben Affleck may let others in on their symbiotic relationship with the forthcoming Line Of Sight, which Ben Affleck is negotiating to produce, direct, and possibly star in (so long as Ben Affleck can convince Ben Affleck that he is the right Ben Affleck for the job). That’s because, while Ben Affleck is the ostensible star, the central gimmick of the action film is that it replicates a first-person shooter video game, putting the audience right alongside Ben Affleck as he commands an “elite commando squad” tasked with battling a global threat while also “transporting cargo.” Will the cargo ever be transported? Step inside Ben Affleck and find out.
