Ben Affleck has made a big deal for Artists Equity, the company he runs with Matt Damon.
They’ve acquired the rights from Warner Bros.to Ben’s previous hit, “The Accountant,” for a sequel. “The Accountant 2” will come from Amazon MGM, the same studio that gave us “Air,” Ben’s hit from this past year.
Gavin O’Connor will direct Ben, JK Simmons, Jon Bernthal, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson in a new tale described below:
“When her former boss is killed by unknown assassins, Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) is forced to contact Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) to solve the murder. With the help of his estranged but highly lethal brother Brax (Jon Bernthal), Chris applies his brilliant mind and less-than-legal methods to piece together the unsolved puzzle. As they get closer to the truth, the trio draw the attention of some of the most ruthless killers alive—all intent on putting a stop to their search.”
