The film is based in part on the 2013 documentary Ghost Army and the book The Ghost Army of World War II: How One Top-Secret Unit Deceived The Enemy With Inflatable Tanks, Sound Effects, And Other Audacious Fakery.
Ghost Army, which is based on the World War II story about a United States Army unit that used inflatable tanks and other mocked-up military equipment to deceive Nazi forces.
A project like this is in Affleck’s wheelhouse, especially after he took home an Academy Award for Argo in 2013.
There still isn’t any information on when we can expect to see the film, but Affleck is slated to star, write and direct the project.
