Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to Portray Morgan Lewis Lawyers.
Two partners from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius who managed to win an acquittal on retrial for their death row client racked up another success this month in a related ruling by a federal appeals court.
Touchstone Pictures has signed a deal to produce a movie on the case, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Am Law Litigation Daily. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon would play the lawyers, Michael Banks and J. Gordon Cooney Jr.
