It is always exciting when a Ben Affleck movie is on the horizon and he is set to return to the big screen later this year with The Accountant.
The Accountant
The movie sees Affleck back in a central role as he teams up with Gavin O'Connor for the first time. And a brand new teaser poster for the movie has been unveiled.
O'Connor has brought us movies such as Pride and Glory and Warrior in recent years and this will see him back in the director's chair for the first time since Jane Got a Gun earlier this year.
The teaser trailer, which was released earlier this month, really does promise much and this could be the best film from O'Connor to date. It really is on course to be one of the autumn movies that's not to be missed.
The director has brought together a great as Anna Kendrick, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons, Alison Wright, John Lithgow, and Jeffrey Tambor are set to star alongside Affleck, who takes on the central role of Christian Wolff.
Christian Wolff (Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations.
With the Treasury Department's Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King (Simmons), starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of- the- art robotics company where an accounting clerk (Kendrick) has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise.
The Accountant is already being tipped as an early potential Oscar contender and I cannot wait to see what O'Connor, Affleck, and co deliver.
The Accountant is released 4th November.
