Ben Affleck is looking for new scenario

Crime drama "The Town" has confirmed that Ben Affleck's directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone" was no accident. Now the actor chooses a new project. Perhaps, there will be a film under the name "American Bullshit" – according to scenario of the "Black List".
Every year in Hollywood is published so-called "black list" with very interesting scenarios, which for various reasons have not been in production.
Of course, sometimes the scripts from the blacklist still get the green light. One of the closest of these films will be "Beaver" Jodie Foster.
"American bullshit" has been written by the author of "International" Eric Singer. The basis of his script is a real special operation conducted by the FBI under the code name "Abscam". It was held in the late 70's - early 80's and was originally aimed at the investigation of trafficking in stolen goods. The FBI was going to introduce in a criminal environment of their agents under the guise of middlemen who buy the stolen masterpieces for wealthy collectors in the Middle East. Subsequently, the operation turned into expose corruption at various levels.
In 1978 FBI has founded a front company Abdul Enterprises, Ltd. on behalf of a fictional Eastern Sheikh Kambira Abdul Rahman. Office staff recorded their negotiations on behalf of Sheikh with the authorities. "Rahman" wanted to acquire American citizenship and to build several casinos in the United States.
In search of support for authorities alleged Sheikh sent to the United States his people who should have received U.S. passports, a license for gambling, as well as generously reward anyone who will help them.
Abscam was mostly developed by Melvin Weinberg, a former swindler specifically rescued from prison for the occasion. It is interesting that the roles of representatives of Sheikh FBI has attracted about a hundred criminals of Arab, made a deal with prosecutors and passing in the witness protection program. Such a decision came for a simple reason: while there were not so much FBI agents with the eastern appearance and knowledge of Arabic.
The operation was completed in 1980. According to its results before the court should have brought 17 senior officials, including two senators and six congressmen. Total in the early 80's on charges of corruption have been convicted more than 18,000 people. How many of them turned out to be behind bars by the actions of the FBI - not known: there was only declassified Operation Abscam.
Ben Affleck's participation in the project has not yet been approved, but the director is serious concerning the new movie. He had in mind there are two scenarios. The Trade - about how the New York Yankees pitchers swapped wives and Replay - Ken Grimwood's novel adaptation of a 43-year old DJ, who dies, comes in an 18-year-old and re-living his life.
Lois and Clark: when will be wedding?

Even now, when Lois and Clark from "Smallville" are engaged, and will likely soon to hear a sound of the wedding march, the producers continue in every way to hide any information about a possible wedding, although it is rumored that the upcoming episode will be the key to one of the most famous couples in history.
"This day will be one of the most important in their lives"- says executive producer Kelly Souders.
"There will be something significant in their relationship," said executive producer Brian Peterson. In the last season, it's not just about Clark as a person and a hero, but also about Clark as a future husband. It is also an important part of his development as a hero.
Now, when Lois and Clark engaged, the dynamics of their relationship will change for sure. "One thing to be a loving couple, and quite another - to become a normal married couple, with daily cares. It is much harder,"- says Souders.
"The pressure intensifies as we approach the season finale. This pressure includes Lois, which have to be in the shadow of the Man of Steel. "I do not think I would want to meet Superman" - jokes Peterson.
"Yeah, to be in a shadow of such man is not so easy, but Lois is itself worth a lot" - says Souders. This fearless journalist uses all his skills in the "Daily Planet", to express themselves. "She will try to find her place in life and her work will really help her", says Peterson. "The fate of Lois - to become an outstanding journalist and we want to point this moment out."
In addition we wait for the return of Dario Delas, who used to play Doomsday (a monster himself, but not a good doctor Bloom). It also became known that he will appear in three episodes.
What will be the other surprises from producers we will find out very soon?!
"Smallville" returns in Jan. 29.

The series is almost completely shooting on "green wall" with the camera RED. In the demo series collects roughly the same ratings as the Stargate: Universe (0.4-0.5), so that the decision to extend most likely motivated by the small cost of filming.
