Affleck, Malick to film in Oklahoma?
The Wrap and Ain’t It Cool News are reporting that Ben Affleck and Rachel Weisz have joined the cast of a Terrence Malick film, set to begin filming in in Bartlesville, OK in October. Affleck was recently spotted at the Broken Arrow Bass Pro shop, where an employee reported Affleck said he was filming a movie, and researching a role as a fisherman.
According to the Wrap, the project, a “romantic drama,” was announced at the Berlin Film Festival. The Wrap speculates Affleck may be replacing Christian Bale in the film. Bale was spotted in Bartlesville in 2008, and told The Oklahoman’s George Lang he was scouting a possible film.
Oklahoma Film and Music Office Director Jill Simpson said she has not spoken with Affleck about making a film in Oklahoma.
