They need another major lead for the south pole movie. And maybe Paul Greengrass as director? Given the inherent emotional content of the story they shouldn't be lacking for directorial prospects.

Could be a Scorsese-level mob film!

Just read Bulgers Wikipedia page and even just from that it's pretty obvious this would be an awesome movie. Normally I'm not huge of bio pics, I feel like they are generally a good platform for one or two actors to give an exceptional performance but usually aren't the best movies overall (La Vie En Rose for example, though I'm sure tons of people will disagree with me there), this seems like it could be an exception though. Also my anticipation for Argo is steadily growing by the day.

Who better to take on Bulger's story than these two (3? I'm not seeing any evidence of Casey's involvement with the Bulger project). Not loving the idea of Terrence Winter writing, after slogging through multiple seasons of the writing he's supervised on Boardwalk Empire. A lot of charisma & self-importance, but stilted-writing & storytelling that doesn't come together. After Good Will Hunting, Gone Baby Gone & The Town its disappointing Affleck hasn't been writing of late.

"And while Ben won't act in the movie, he hasn't ruled it out entirely saying that's really tempted to take the part of FBI agent John Connolly". So he won't act but he might? That sentence needs a second look.
