Ben Affleck and Rachel Weisz board new Terrence Malick film
Fri, August 13, 2010 
Ever since his directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone" and well received supporting performance in "Hollywoodland" Ben Affleck has been on the comeback trail, and replacing Christian Bale in enigmatic director Terrence Malik's new film is another notch on his belt.
Awesome thespian beauty Rachel Weisz is also joining the cast although not replacing Christian Bale. Weisz is a class act whether it is in action fare like "The Mummy" and "Chain Reaction" or more actorly efforts such as "The Fountain" and "The Constant Gardener," she always delivers.
I've only seen one Malick movie "Badlands" which I loved and one of his strongest points in his films is his use of cinematography, what is unusual is he has been directing 41 years yet has only released 5 films and there was a big gap between each, however with this new film (There are no plot details as of yet) due in 2012 and "Tree of Life" due later this year Malik will have made 3 films in 7 years.
The Wrap has the scoop.
Oscar winners Ben Affleck and Rachel Weisz have joined the cast of Terrence Malick's next movie, individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap.
Weisz's publicist has confirmed the actress' casting to TheWrap, while Affleck's representatives did not immediately return TheWrap's messages.
The project was announced at the Berlin Film Festival, where it was described as a "romantic drama" and a "powerful and moving love story."
Christian Bale, Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams and Olga Kurylenko were announced as the initial cast members, but it seems that Affleck will be replacing Bale in the picture.
Glen Basner's Film Nation is financing the film, and Bill Pohlad will produce.
Production is scheduled to begin the first week of October in Oklahoma.
TulsaWorld.com published a report yesterday that Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner were spotted at a local store buying fishing supplies.
Affleck reportedly told a store employee that he was filming a movie in Bartlesville, and would be playing a fisherman.
The head of Oklahoma's Film & Music office would not confirm that Malick would be shooting a movie in the state.
Affleck is represented by WME, while Weisz is represented by CAA.
