Matt & Ben together again
By M&C Feb 28, 2006, 1:02 GMT
Disney's Touchstone Pictures has reportedly signed Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to play lawyers in a yet to be titled film based on a true story.
Drama will be written by Chris Murphey. Sean Bailey will produce with Amanda Stern and Fred Bodner. LivePlanet's Daniel Pipski will executive produce.
Affleck will play Michael Banks and Damon will be J. Gordon Cooney, two lawyers in a Philadelphia law firm that took on a pro bono appeal that turned into a 15-year crusade. The lawyers won nine stays of execution for death-row inmate John Thompson and finally got him exonerated of all charges.
Film is in development.
