Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake are set to headline Runner Runner for New Regency, Variety reports. Details are currently few are on the film's plot, but the project is said to be a thriller involving online gambling.

Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer) will direct the project, which features a script from Brian Koppelman and David Levien, who previously dealt with gambling in both Rounders and Ocean's Thirteen.

Timberlake appeared last year in Bad Teacher, In Time and Friends with Benefits. He's currently shooting Trouble with the Curve for Clint Eastwood and Inside Llewyn Davis for the Coen brothers.

Affleck, meanwhile, last appeared in The Town, which he directed. His next project as a director/actor is Warner Bros.' Argo, set for release this fall.

Producers on Runner Runner include Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson Killoran, Michael Shamberg, Stacey Sher and Scott Steindorff.

The climax of the movie takes place as Timberlake goes to the local Western Union to pick up a payout. Little does he know that feds are waiting to arrest him. Timberlake must fight his way out and make it home in time to bet the 10 o clock west coast game. Can he do it?

When I think about Afleck's character and performance in The Town, and Timberlake's in The Social Network, I think these 2 are going to pair well in this...

Release date will be sometime in 2014.

Hopefully, it'll be worth the wait.:grandmais

Cage was great in Leaving Las Vegas. But he has appeared in more cheap movies than anybody acting today. The Cheapest movie ever made was Snake Eyes.Which he starred in.. Followed by a close second The Fan with De Niro..

No worse than Owen Wilson

Let's not forget Timberlake in the "Social Network" He played Sean Parker very well.

But if it comes to gambling, we need Matt Damon in there with Ben Alleck!

eoghater · Apr 17, 2012

eh, this movie would've been a thrill years ago when the scene was amazing and at its peak.

Instead of moving thousands via neteller, jt will be getting $100 prepaid visa cards.
