Ben Affleck May Star as Hulk Hogan in a Movie About the Gawker Sex Tape Trial
Ben Affleck might just be catching Hulkamania.
Late last week, rumors began flying that Affleck and best bud Matt Damon were in the final stages of locking down a hot script about the infamous Hulk Hogan sex-tape scandal, which ended with the former wrestler successfully suing Gawker, the outlet that published the tape, out of existence.
That Affleck and Damon were circling Killing Gawker was first reported on Friday by PWInsider. The wrestling blog claimed that Affleck and Damon were also jonesing to play Hogan and Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech investor who bankrolled the war on Gawker, respectively.
