John Lithgow has been cast opposite Ben Affleck in The Accountant, the action thriller that Gavin O’Connor is directing for Warner Bros.
 

Based on an original script by Bill Dubuque, “The Accountant” centers on a mild-mannered accountant who moonlights as a lethal assassin.
 

Lithgow has been set to play Lamar Black, a tech magnate in the robotics field who hires Affleck’s character to look at his company’s accounting given some recent irregularities.

After his Golden Globe win for Amazon’s “Transparent,” The Hollywood Reporter brings word that actor Jeffrey Tambor is taking a victory lap by getting cast opposite Ben Affleck in Warner Bros.’ assassin thriller The Accountant.
 

Tambor will reportedly play a mob accountant who also serves as Affleck’s character’s mentor.

Ben, just listen to your namesake and be more like this:

 

I got tired by just reading those news reports...

 

Though obviously this could be great, thumbs up for Lithgow and Tambor

This is gonna be another Blackhat I fear...

This is gonna be another Blackhat I fear...

Sweet.

Or it could be something more in line with The Town.

It's either a failed Oscar bait movie they're dumping on January or an Oscar film that will get December qualifying run and hopes to get awards buzz by the time it expands nationwide in January

[Exxdee]

Hopefully, this gives us accountants some good representation Anna Kendrick (probably Affleck's GF) and Jon Bernthal (that screwed up friend) are some of my favorites.

[CJohn]

Yeah, this is a failed Oscar bait movie.

This doesn't have to be a failed Oscar-bait movie. This could easily be a mid-budget thriller , comedy or action movie. January-February is the perfect time to release such studio movies.

Yeah, this is a failed Oscar bait movie.

Why?

[CoolioD1]

'accountant who moonlights as an assassin' is definitely more of a 'fuck you, it's january' premise than a failed oscar bait premise to me.

[Alpha]

LOL, why is everyone calling it a failed Oscar-bait movie? I guess we should call the new Coen brothers movie lfailed Oscar-bait" because it's getting a release in February.

[Jack Nevada]

I still need to see that dumbass movie from few years ago where douche Ben Affleck feeds people to crocodiles. 

[Robot308]

Or it could be something more in line with The Town.

More like The Town

[grim22]

Yeah, this is a failed Oscar bait movie.

It's neither failed Oscar bait, nor is it a January dump movie, it is a "You agreed to be Batman, so we will green light any movie you want to appear in for life" movie.

[Robot308]

This is gonna be another Blackhat I fear...

I so doubt that

[grim22]

The press tour for this movie will most likely involve everyone asking Affleck about BvS as opposed to this movie.
