Ben Affleck Negotiating to Direct and Star In Line of Sight

The directorial career of Ben Affleck is officially in overdrive: The Oscar-winning screenwriter is in talks to direct and star in Line of Sight, an actioner that "centers on an elite commando squad transporting cargo while dealing with a global threat." Transporting cargo! That old cinematic treat. Affleck is about to start work on Argo, a CIA drama set during the Iran hostage crisis. Ooh, intrigue! Delicious. I'm yelling, "Gobble, gobble" already.
