Ben Affleck to Direct & Star in 'Witness For the Prosecution' Reboot
Ben Affleck is giving his Batman cape a little break, as the actor is currently in talks with 20th Century Fox to direct and star in the upcoming Witness For the Prosecution remake, Deadline reports. It is an adaptation from Agatha Christie's 1925 short story, which was then turned into a play before hitting the big screen in 1957.
For the modern reimagining, Affleck, his BFF Matt Damon, Jennifer Todd and the Agatha Christie estate will co-produce with Christopher Keyser (Party of Five) penning the script. The original Academy Award-nominated film starred Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton.
