It looks like Ben Affleck has found his next project as a director. The actor has been busy portraying on-screen characters for the past couple of years now and it’s time he took the director’s seat again.

Affleck will get behind the camera to direct The Big Goodbye, an adaptation of Sam Wasson’s book The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and The Last Years of Hollywood. Reportedly, Saturday Night Live’s Lorne Michaels had the rights for the book and brought it to Paramount Pictures. He and Affleck will produce the project while the latter is set to pen the script as well. The non-fiction book tells the behind-the-scenes story of the 1974 film starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
