Kristen Stewart in Talks to Star Opposite Ben Affleck in FOCUS
Kristen Stewart is in talks to star opposite Ben Affleck in Glenn Ficarra and John Requa’s (Crazy Stupid Love) upcoming romantic comedy FOCUS. I can already feel the non-existent chemistry. The film centers on a “veteran con man who gets involved with a newcomer to the grifter business. They get involved romantically but that becomes perilous in a business where they lie and cheat for a living. The complications of the encounter haunt them when they meet up again in the future.”
The writing/directing duo originally wanted to reunite Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling but both had to decline due to scheduling conflicts. It’s a weird choice considering Affleck is considerably older than Stewart … oh, wait … nevermind. It could work.
