Affleck Aims Argo for Autumn Release
Our good ol’ Boston boy, Ben Affleck, is at it again. Spotted sporting what could best be described as a “Justin Bieber at 40” haircut for the latter part of last year, is now being explained with the release of the first production stills from Warner Bros., the studio releasing his latest feature, Argo.
The movie is based on the 2000 memoir by Tony Mendez entitled The Master of Disguise. Mendez helped create the fake “Studio Six,” complete with Hollywood offices and employees, a vital part of making the plot to pitch to the Iranian government that their hostages were actually just Canadian film workers, not diplomats. Mendez even worked in part out of offices that had just been vacated by Michael Douglas’s film China Syndrome. Affleck plays Mendez in the film.
Argo hits theaters in September, and costars Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, Tate Donovan, Victor Garber, and Kyle Chandler. This is Affleck’s 3rd directorial project. Unlike his first two, Gone Baby Gone, and The Town, this movie was not shot in the Boston area, but rather shot on location in LA, Washington D.C., and Istanbul, Turkey starting this past September. The film is produced by Oscar winner George Clooney, Grant Heslov, and Affleck.
