Ben Affleck to Play George Reeves  2/22/05

Ben Affleck and Diane Lane are teaming up to star in a movie about the investigation into the mysterious death of actor George Reeves. In Truth, Justice and the American Way Affleck will play the screen idol and Lane will portray the married woman who was presumed by many to be his love interest. 

In 1959, Reeves, the renowned TV star of the 1950's hit series Superman, was found dead from what appeared to be suicide, but some theories on the mysterious event have suggested he was murdered. Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody co-stars in the upcoming film as a detective investigating Reeves' death. 

The movie is scheduled to begin filming this summer (05).
