Brad Furman (Lincoln Lawyer) is set to direct dramatic thriller ‘Runner, Runner’ set in the $30 billion world of online gambling, from a script by Brian Koppelman and David Levien.
No stranger to gambling pics, scribes Koppelman (son of mogul Charles Koppelman) and Levien co-wrote ‘Rounders’ starring Affleck buddy Matt Damon.
Timberlake who is rumored to be engaged to actress Jessica Biel, looks to be keeping it close to the vest being that Biel is close friends with Affleck’s wife, actress and mom of three, Jennifer Garner.
The two co-starred together in Garry Marshall’s ‘Valentine’s Day.’
