Ben Affleck Boards Robert Rodriguez Thriller ‘Hypnotic’ – Deadline

Ben Affleck has been set to star in Robert Rodriguez's action thriller Hypnotic, playing a detective who, while investigating a string of impossible high-end heists, becomes entangled in a mystery involving his missing daughter and a secret government program.

The big budget pic, which we understand is set at $60m-$80m, comes from Studio 8 and Solstice Studios and is the first project greenlit under a partnership between the two companies. Production is slated for April.

Robert Rodriguez Filming Hypnotic in July in Austin

Big studio films are heading back to production, and one of the biggest is coming straight to Austin. This morning, Robert Rodriguez announced that his latest film, Hypnotic starring Ben Affleck, has relocated from California and will start shooting out of his East Austin Troublemaker Studios next month.

The filmmaker describes the story, which he scripted with Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla), as a "very modern Hitchcock-type movie." Affleck plays a detective involved in a missing persons case while investigating "a string of impossible high-end crimes. It's got a lot of action, a lot of twists, and you never really know what's real."
