Ben Affleck is in talks to star as the male lead in the comedy "Focus" according to Deadline.
The story follows a veteran con man who gets involved with a newcomer to the grifter business. They get involved romantically which becomes perilous in a business where you lie and cheat for a living.
Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ("Crazy, Stupid, Love") wrote the script and will direct,
Denise Dinovi is producing the film.
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were previously linked to the project in the lead roles. A shame that Ryan and Emma have moved on. They are so great together...
The search for a new female lead is currently underway.
