Ben Affleck and David Schwimmer are ready to become gambling buddies--the actors are teaming up to star in a comedy set in the world of competitive poker.
Schwimmer, Affleck and William H. Macy will star in the untitled comedy, Variety reports, with a fictional international poker tournament providing the backdrop.
After suffering through a string of recent bombs,
Affleck gets a role he can enjoy regardless of the
movie's box-office success. He won the California
State Poker Championships and a $356,400 prize in
June.
Schwimmer, meanwhile, is still gambling on a
post-"Friends" acting career.
