Oh oh! It was revealed today that Ben Affleck has dropped out of Warner Bros new flick FOCUS. According to online reports, Affleck really wanted to do the film but the timing did not work out.
FOCUS is the third project from director/writer duo Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who have previously worked on I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS and CRAZY STUPID LOVE. It tells the story of a veteran grifter who partners with a girl new to the lifestyle with Affleck set to co-star in the project with TWILIGHT’s Kristen Stewart.
It is believed that Affleck left the project because he will be focusing on his next project LIVE BY NIGHT, which he will be writing, producing, directing AND starring in.
He’s a bit of a busy lad eh?
