Boy, this has been a busy week for Ben Affleck. First he began shooting his latest film, the thriller "Argo." Then he announced earlier today that he's having a baby (his wife, Jennifer Garner, is also involved in some capacity). And now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, he's in talks to star in, direct and produce the upcoming action flick "Line of Sight."
And it's not even Wednesday yet!
Of course, when you're on as big of a roll as Affleck is, you probably don't want to do anything to slow down the momentum. Since his career hit rock bottom back in 2004 with "Jersey Girl," Affleck has turned everything around, marrying Garner, reviving his acting career with acclaimed roles in films like "Hollywoodland" and "The Company Men" and launching a wildly successful second career as a director with the acclaimed low budget, Oscar nominated hits "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town."

And now he's apparently in talks to take the reins on "Line of Sight," which would feature Affleck as a member of an elite commando squad trying to protect valuable cargo against a terrorist threat. The big spin? "Line of Sight" is apparently going to be filmed from a first person shooter perspective, putting the audience in the role of one of the commandos.
A film that gives us the chance to hang with Affleck? Sign us up. Because after the week he's putting together, whatever he's having, we'll take a double.
