Ben Affleck’s new found love (among other emotions) as the new Batman has all of a sudden made this 20th Century thriller quite the attention grabber. You could say that the marketing is…running with it. I couldn’t resist.
In the newest trailer for Runner Runner, the focus becomes even more glaring on good guy Justin Timberlake becoming seduced into a world of gambling, corruption and extortion spearheaded by a smiling Ben Affleck. Affleck plays the requisite alluring villain who will take Timberlake under his wing and possibly even share Gemma Arterton with him.
The trailer looks very familiar, but for fans ready to see Affleck in another light post-Batman news, this film may just be the ticket.
The film, directed by Brad Furman of The Lincoln Lawyer will open on October 4.
