LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Ben Affleck is in talks to direct a film about Arizona Republic journalist Don Bolles who was slain in 1976 while working on a story about political corruption.
"The Longest Yard" scribe Sheldon Turner penned the screenplay for the as-yet-untitled film, which would serve as a follow-up to Affleck's celebrated directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone," The Hollywood Reporter said.
