Ben Affleck thinks Kristen Stewart is 'terrific'.

The 'Argo' director is reportedly set to work with the 'Twilight Saga' actress in romantic comedy 'Focus' and Ben admitted he would jump at the chance.

He told E! News: 'I'm hesitant to get into casting stuff because I don't know what's finished or isn't because people come in and out of things all the time. But she's terrific and hopefully it will work out.'

Kristen recently revealed she is desperate to land another role now that 'Breaking Dawn Part 2', the final movie in the 'Twilight Saga' franchise is finished and can't wait to start working on something new.

The 22-year-old star admitted: 'I'm kinda desperate to get a job right now. I'm itching to get back to work.'

The actress - whose other new movie 'On The Road' also premiered in the US earlier this month - has no confirmed projects on the horizon, but aid it is possible she might reprise her role in 'Snow White and the Huntsman 2' despite her fling with director Rupert Sanders during the summer.

The fantasy adventure movie - starring Kristen and Chris Hemsworth as the titular characters - took more than $55 million at the US box office over its opening weekend, leading to Warner Brothers to green-light a follow-up.
