Ben Affleck drops out of Focus

I posted about Kristen Stewart joining an upcoming Ben Affleck movie called Focus. She was set to be his love interest in the film. Well, it seems that she will have to be another guy's love interest as Affleck has dropped out of the film. Afflecks' rep is citing scheduling conflicts as the reasoning.

Either way they will have to cast someone fairly soon because filming is set to begin in April.

Kristen Stewart to co-star with Ben Affleck in comedy

Kristen Stewart has confirmed she will be starring opposite Ben Affleck in the con-artist comedy film Focus. The film is set to start shooting in April and is to be directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy, Stupid, Love). The basic plot revealed so far is as follows:

"Stewart will play a rookie con artist alongside Affleck, who will play an experienced swindler. The fraud-loving pair’s relationship grows complicated when they begin to develop romantic feelings for one another."



Something about Kristen Stewart not only in a comedy but playing a love interest for Ben Affleck, who is almost 20 years older than her, sounds very unappealing. Sorry.
