Also receiving a date is the Gavin O’Connor-directed Ben Affleck drama which is currently untitled (aka Torrance). That will debut on Oct. 18. Affleck plays a widowed, former basketball all-star who lost family foundation in a struggle with addiction and attempts to come back by becoming the coach of a disparate, ethnically mixed high school basketball team at his alma mater.

Much better title. I see this doing pretty well!

[MCKillswitch123]

I read the description and I was both amazed that it was basically a Ben Affleck biopic, and disappointed that it wasn't a sequel to The Accountant.

OSCAR for Affleck!

Would be quite a sight if Affleck, Bale, Pattinson and the Joaq all got nominations. Seems doubtful, but still.

[Mr Terrific]

Um, The White Shadow?

Right?

Cool. Been waiting for awhile to know what the "Untitled Ben Affleck movie" that's been on BOM's schedule for so long is. In fact, I notice this thread was started March 22 with a description. I wasn't even aware of that. All I knew was that there was a Ben Affleck movie coming out in October.

 

So yeah, cool. Really different from his last several movies too.

[filmlover]

It's been retitled again lol.

What was wrong with long time coming? There's so many films called the way back.

[filmlover]

Moved to March 6, 2020.

Hope something from November moves to October 18. That weekend now has just two mid-level sequels - Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Zombieland: Double Tap.

Hmm not a bad idea. I wonder if it'll have the buzz to justify a wide release right off the hop. I don't want to be cynical but you wonder if audiences today want to go see a black and white film.

Got pushed way back.
