Ben Affleck is back in action—both behind and in front of the camera! The Hollywood heavyweight is directing and starring in Animals, a mysterious kidnapping thriller that’s already turning heads. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, Emmy-winner Gillian Anderson has signed on, making this one Netflix project to watch!
Originally, Affleck was set to direct while bestie Matt Damon took the lead. But after production delays and Damon’s scheduling conflicts (thanks a lot, Christopher Nolan!), Affleck decided to take matters into his own hands—literally. Now, he’s stepping up as the film’s leading man, and fans are here for it!
Details on Animals are being kept under tight wraps, but with a script by Connor McIntyre and Billy Ray, plus backing from Affleck and Damon’s Artists Equity, expectations are sky-high. Shooting kicks off soon in L.A., and more cast announcements are on the way.
This isn’t Affleck’s only Netflix collab—he’s also gearing up for crime thriller RIP with Damon. But Animals? This one has all the makings of a high-stakes, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Buckle up—Affleck’s got another hit on his hands!
