Or will he be making something called AMERICAN BULLSHIT instead? According to Deadline, Affleck – while not yet committed to it – is apparently seriously considering it. The BULLSHIT script, ranked 8th among the Black List scripts of 2010, was written by Eric Warren Singer (THE INTERNATIONAL). The drama is described as “the true story of Abscam, the FBI’s 1980 undercover sting operation of Congress to root out corruption which was the brainchild of the world’s greatest con man.”
Apart from AMERICAN BULLSHIT and REPLAY, Affleck is also linked to a film called THE TRADE, about infamous wife-swapping Yankee ballplayers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich. He and broheim Casey were reportedly on board to re-write the film (with good chum Matt Damon possibly directing).
