The Ben Affleck-Matt Damon Reunion Gets One Step Closer, and 8 Other Stories You'll Be Talking About Today

Also in this morning's busy edition of The Broadsheet: Darren Aronofsky adds another rumored project to his comically busy schedule... Lou Dobbs never hired any undocumented workers, says Lou Dobbs... Brett Favre's penis might have hit the Internet... and more ahead.

· Having passed on Tales from the Gangster Squad (good move!), it appears that Ben Affleck is hoping to make The Trade his next film. According to a recent interview with MTV, Affleck is re-writing the script with his brother Casey, with eyes on co-starring in the film with Matt Damon. No word on which multi-hyphenate would direct, but Affleck even tossed Damon's name into the ring as a possibility. The long-rumored project is about a pair of New York Yankees who swapped wives in the '70s. Stay classy, Bronx Bombers. [MTV]
