Ben Affleck Set for David Fincher's 'Gone Girl'!

Ben Affleck is in talks for the leading role in the upcoming David Fincher-directed picture Gone Girl, according to Deadline.

The 40-year-old actor’s potential new role, which is being produced by Reese Witherspoon, is a husband whose wife disappears on the day of their fifth anniversary, with him being looked at as the main suspect. No leading lady has been cast yet, as it appears Reese will only be acting as producer.

Ben‘s involvement in Gone Girl means that his upcoming directing venture Live By Night will have to be pushed back slightly to accommodate.

Gone Girl is based on Gillian Flynn‘s popular novel of the same name.
