As with Air, Affleck will direct the film (the script this tome comes from Connor McIntyre, with revisions by way of Billy Ray), with Damon starring. Little is known about the story for this one beyond the kidnapping narrative.

Netflix has leapt aboard this one, looking to lock in Affleck’s services before he has to report to duty reprising his role of Christian Wolff for the still-untitled Accountant sequel.

Damon and Affleck will both produce the new film, which should be shooting this year. Will it see cinemas the way that Air did (to $90 million box office worldwide) or appear directly on Netflix’s servers? Only time will tell…
