Ben Affleck to Remind You It’s Chinatown With His Adaptation of Making-Of Book The Big Goodbye - Vulture

According to Deadline, Ben Affleck is here to remind you, by writing and directing a movie depicting the making of Roman Polanski’s 1974 neo-noir classic Chinatown.

The movie will be based on Sam Wasson’s The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood, which was published February 4.

Even more intriguing, apparently Saturday Night Live’s Lorne Michaels, who optioned the book rights and approached Paramount with the project, will also produce.
