Ben Affleck is set to star in another political movie following his stint in "Argo". According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 39-year-old actor/filmmaker has been tapped to star in Warner Bros. Pictures' political comedy film called "Nathan Decker".

The husband of actress Jennifer Garner is expected to tackle the lead role of a politician who is caught in an affair before returning to his hometown to forget his past. The "Daredevil" star will not sign on to direct the film because he's currently busy with the post-production stage of "Argo".

Before Affleck was chosen as the leading man for "Nathan Decker", Tom Cruise was once mentioned as a possible lead actor. Nonetheless, no deal has ever been sealed with the "Risky Business" actor. After picking up the script from scribe Dan Fogelman, Warners is currently looking for a director to helm the project.

Affleck was last seen starring in 2010's "The Town", which he also directed and wrote. His upcoming directorial stint include "The Stand", a big-budgeted adaptation of Stephen King's novel. He has also been attached to an untitled Terrence Malick project, which is said to be a romantic drama which also stars Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams.

據(jù)國外媒體報道，本·阿弗萊克將出演華納的政治喜劇新片《內(nèi)森·德克爾》(Nathan Decker)，該劇由丹·弗格曼(《瘋狂愚蠢的愛》)于大約一年前編寫，當(dāng)時設(shè)定由湯姆·克魯斯主演，目前他確認(rèn)退出后，華納就找到了本·阿弗萊克來接替出演。

很顯然，阿弗萊克和華納有著長期的密切合作，他之前和華納合作了《城中大盜》、《失蹤的寶貝》等影片，最近的新片《逃離德黑蘭》預(yù)計在今年9月上映。另外，他還搭檔瑞秋·麥克亞當(dāng)斯出演泰倫斯·馬力克的一部新片，目前尚未有該片的上映消息。

阿弗萊克在《內(nèi)森·德克爾》中將飾演一個因犯事被捕的政客?！逗萌R塢報道》稱，本片不由本·阿弗萊克執(zhí)導(dǎo)，華納正在另尋導(dǎo)演。媒體猜測，阿弗萊克的妻子珍妮弗·加納在生完小孩在等戲出演，該片的女主角或許是她也不一定。?
