Ben Affleck is returning to the other side of the camera to take his turn directing again. Next up, he has his eyes set on a drama called the Arizona Project.
Bolles was a reporter for the Arizona Republic, digging into the mob and political corruption, when he was lured to a hotel by an unknown source back in 1976. No one showed up, and as Bolles left, his car was blown up by a remote detonator. He survived for over a week, suffering amputations until he finally succumbed to his injuries eleven days later. The wake of Bolles’ death not only led to justice being served for the crime, but also inspired fellow journalists coming together to complete his work and expose corruption in Arizona.
I like Affleck, both as a director and an actor. Sure he has his good and bad, but he is usually enjoyable to see on screen and his directing gigs have turned out pretty good too.
I look forward to hearing more about this soon.
