Affleck Out Of "Focus"

A scheduling snafu has forced Ben Affleck to drop out of the comedy "Focus" says Vulture.  


The story follows a veteran con man (Affleck) who gets romantically involved with a newcomer (Kristen Stewart) to the grifter business. They get involved 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.

Stewart remains involved.

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were previously linked to the project in the lead roles. A shame that Ryan and Emma had moved on. They are so great together...Stewart and Affleck seem like they would have had no spark and zero chemistry Since production was to begin in the Spring --I hope Emma and Ryan will hop back in somehow
