Ben Affleck to star in ‘Great Gatsby’?

Deadline is reporting this morning that Ben Affleck is in talks to join the star-studded, Baz Luhrmann-directed epic ‘The Great Gatsby’.
The actor is in talk to play Tom Buchanan, Daisy Buchanan’s philandering husband.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the producers of the film are willing to work around his busy schedule. He’s slated to direct his new film, ‘Argo’ this fall, the same time Luhrman wanted to being ‘Gatsby’.
The impressive cast already includes Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway and Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan.
The film will be shot in 3D – in Australia.
I’m nervous about this one. Pros: It’s going to star Leonardo DiCaprio (can do no wrong, in my book) and Carey Mulligan, whom I love. If Ben Affleck signs on – then I’m SOLD! Cons: Baz Luhrman. Lets face it, Chicago Moulin Rouge and Romeo and Juliet are his best movies, and even those are painful to watch at times. Also a con – 3D? If it’s not Avatar, I don’t see the point in 3D. Still seems gimmicky to me.
I guess time will tell!
