New Thriller in Affleck's Line of Sight

Ben Affleck is looking to direct, produce and star in new thriller film Line of Sight.

Affleck who is currently shooting his latest film Argo, a drama film based on a real life hostage situation, is currently in talks with film studio Warner Bros. about the film.

The film’s plot follows an elite commando squad who, whilst transporting cargo have to deal with a huge global threat. The film is currently being back by Joel Silver and was originally written by F Scott Frazier.

So far the film sounds like your traditional type of thriller movie, but the film’s unique selling point and a major hook for this film is that the story will mainly be told from the point of view of one of the main characters, almost in the first person. Which I’m assuming may not being Affleck considering he’s in talks to produce and direct the feature film.

There has been no confirmation yet about when the film will be shooting, but considering Affleck is only in talks at the moment then it could be some time, and it may not even be Affleck in the movie when all comes to fruition.

Hill Joins Neighbourhood Watch

Sci-fi comedy Neighbourhood Watch just entered a whole new realm of funny, as Jonah Hill has been confirmed as the latest cast signing.

Already on board for the comedy feature are Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Rosemarie DeWitt.

The comedy will see Stiller moving form the city to the quiet suburbs hoping to find some peace and quiet, and hoping hat everything will now become more dull. But things soon change when he joins a group of bored married men to form a neighbourhood watch group. Thing turn slightly weird and Stiller gets much more than he bargained for when the newly formed group discover an alien invasion plot. Expect some laugh out loud moments there then!

The new film is being overseen by the director of Hot Rod Akiva Schaffer and the script has been written by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg.

From the sound of the cast and the writing team behind the film, this is a sure fire comedy hit, that I expect will be packed to the brim with laugh out loud moments.
