Affleck and Smith on Action Pic
Posted on Tue, 4-Jan-2005
According to a report on the News Askew website, Ben Affleck and Will Smith, who recently shared scenes in "Jersey Girl", may be re-teaming for an action-comedy called "Affirmative Action".
Affleck will be riding the coat-tails of his more bankable co-star on a film set in New Orleans. It tells of a black soldier who goes A.W.O.L. after committing a crime, and a South Boston cop and a FBI agent who don't share the same racial views who're teamed to find him.
Jerry Bruckheimer, who both guys have worked with before, is handling producing duties.
Wouldn't be surprised if Affleck gets the boot from it. He's about as appealing as rotten fruit these days - and the box office agrees.

Affirmative Action was written by Jeffrey Abrams and is currently in development at Jerry Bruckheimer Films. Buena Vista will distribute the picture.
