Ben Affleck to star in George Clooney-directed The Tender Bar Adaptation for Amazon

Deadline has recently reported that Ben Affleck is in negotiation to star in Amazon Studios’ adaptation of The Tender Bar with George Clooney as director. The two A-listers have been trying to work together for years. It is said that when Clooney set this as his next directorial project, Affleck was at the top of the list to play the lead in the coming-of-age tale.

The movie is based on the J. R. Moehringer memoir about growing up in Long Island and seeking out father figures among the patrons at his uncle’s bar. It was initially in works at Sony, with Ted Melfi helming the direction. When Melfi left the project, Sony put the film into turnaround and Amazon bought the rights. George Clooney and his producing partner Grant Heslov would finance through their Smokehouse Pictures banner. Ted Hope also serves as a producer. The script is penned by William Monahan. It is unclear whether Clooney would appear in the film or not. But as he has done in every movie he helmed, there is always a possibility. The Tender Bar cast and more details are yet to be revealed.
