Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck are in talks to star in an adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith novel Deep Water.
It will be directed by Adrian Lyne who last directed Unfaithful
The movie is an erotic thriller, right in the wheelhouse Lyne established with such blockbusters Indecent Proposal, Fatal Attraction, and 9 1/2 Weeks.
Affleck and de Armas are in talks to play Vic and Melinda Van Allen, an attractive young married couple whose mind games with each other take a twisted turn when people around them start turning up dead. The couple staves off divorce in a loveless marriage by allowing each to take lovers, but it becomes messy as Highsmith exposed the surface facade of American suburban life.
