Ben Affleck is in talks to direct George Clooney's project Argo, it has been reported.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Affleck may come on board to helm a film that was set up at Warner Bros by Clooney.
The movie, based on an article in Wired Magazine, tells the story of a CIA rescue operation to save six US diplomats held hostage in Iran in 1979.
Variety reports that the plot focuses on a scheme concocted by the CIA, which involved using a fake movie project titled 'Argo' to help the hostages escape.
Should Affleck accept the position, it will be his first directing assignment since The Town.
