The trio team behind last years Gone Girl is at it again! According to reports from Deadline, Director David Fincher, Author/Screenwriter Gillian Flynn and Actor Ben Affleck are teaming up again to remake Alfred Hitchcock's 1951 film, Strangers on a Train. Gillian Flynn is set to write a modern adaptaion of the film, and Affleck is set to star and produce the film under the 'Pearl Street Films' banner with Warner Bros.
The original film is about a professional tennis player who is tired of his marriage. While on a train ride he runs into a man who offers to kill his wife, in exchange that he kills the mans father. The report mentions that rather than a professional tennis player, the main character will be a movie star in the middle of a awards season campaign.This certainly sounds interesting, and after the fantastic output of Gone Girl, I'd love to see more from this team.
