According to various sources, Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck have signed on to star in director Brad Furman’s Runner Runner, a thriller about the world of online gambling.
Production is expected to begin this summer in Puerto Rico.
PR has become a popular filming location for movies and TV shows in the past couple of years thanks to their generous film tax incentives. The Rum Diary, starring Johnny Depp, was entirely shot in Puerto Rico in 2010, and just last month both White Collar and The Big C were filmed there.
