Ben Affleck is the latest name who may bring the late Ken Grimwood's fantasy novel Replay to the big screen as his next directorial effort says The Hollywood Reporter.
The story centers on a 45-year-old man who has a fatal heart attack trying to prevent the murder of a jogger in New York's Central Park. He awakens to find himself and the jogger stuck in a loop - replaying his life from age 18 in Brooklyn to dying, along with the jogger, at 45. Together their pair try to break the cycle of their repeating lives
Affleck has met suits for the project, but no official offer is out.
The pic has spent over two decades in development hell with the likes of Peter Hyams and Richard Lagravenese hoping to adapt the book. Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts were once attached to star as well..
Jason Smilovic (Lucky Number Slevin) wrote the most recent draft of the screenplay
