Ben Affleck Directs & Stars in Thriller with Gillian Anderson!

Ben Affleck is gearing up for his upcoming Netflix thriller “Animals,” taking on both directorial and acting roles, according to Deadline’s reports. Sources also indicate that Gillian Anderson has joined the cast. The film will be shot in Los Angeles from a script penned by Connor McIntyre and Billy Ray.
