As AceShowbiz reports citing Deadline, the duo along with screenwriter Gillian Flynn will join forces again to remake Alfred Hitchcock's classic "Strangers on a Train". The original, which was based on a Patricia Highsmith novel, was released in 1951 with Farley Granger and Robert Walker among the cast members. It centers on two strangers, one of whom is a tennis star, who meet on a train and discuss the idea of exchanging murders. The new version, meanwhile, will be simply called "Strangers" and it will see Affleck as a movie star in the middle of an Oscar campaign. When his private plane breaks down, he's given a ride to L.A. on another plane by a wealthy stranger. Affleck and Fincher's "Gone Girl" is one of the best movies of 2014. Receiving very positive reviews from critics, it grossed $350 million worldwide on a $60 million budget. It was also nominated for four awards at the Golden Globes.
