Those hoping to see Ben Affleck's considerable directorial skills put to use on Warner Bros. planned adaptation of
The Stand are in for some disappointment, as his commitment to playing Batman in Zack Snyder's
Man Of Steel sequel means he's had to drop out of the project. But, according to THR WB have found a replacement in Scott Porter, who directed Jeff Bridges to an Oscar in the brilliant
Crazy Heart and who's next movie, Out of the Furnace, stars former Batman Christian Bale, brother of new Batman Casey Affleck and
Guardians Of The Galaxy's Zoe Saldana. Quite a cast, so it'll be very interesting to see who he lines up to play Randall Flagg, Nick Andros, Stue Redman and the rest of the characters from
The Stand.
