Damon and Affleck Reunite for Crime Drama
BFF’s Matt Damon and Ben Affleck will reunite for a new crime movie based the life of Whitey Bulger.
James ‘Whitey’ Bulger was chased by the FBI for 16 years before finally being arrested in June of this year at the age of 81. Jack Nicholson’s role in The Departed was apparently based on his life.
Damon will star as Bulger and Affleck will direct the script written by Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter.
Affleck says: “Matt and I have been looking for something to do together for some time. We’ve heard about Whitey Bulger since we were kids, and we are exciting by the prospect of putting it on screen.”
