Affleck is reportedly looking to set up his next directing project, and this one might not be with Warner Bros., the studio behind three of his previous efforts: The Town, Argo, and Live By Night.
If the deal goes through, Affleck will direct his next film — an Afghanistan war drama — for Sony.
Adam Cozad (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit) wrote the screenplay for Red Platoon, which counts George Clooney among its producers.
According to The Tracking Board, Affleck is in early talks to helm Red Platoon for Sony, based on the New York Times bestselling memoir by Clinton Romesha.
