Ben Affleck is set to star in the next film from director Robert Rodriguez, a mind-bending action thriller called "Hypnotic".

Robert Rodriguez and Max Borenstein wrote the film that will star Affleck as a detective who becomes entangled in a mystery involving his missing daughter and a secret government program while investigating a string of impossible high-end heists.

Rodriguez, Studio 8 CEO Jeff Robinov and colleagues Guy Danella and John Graham will produce with Solstice. Production is set to start in April.

The Oscar winner has a hectic six months ahead. His New Regency thriller "Deep Water", co-starring Ana de Armas, goes into production this month, followed by the Ridley Scott period drama "The Last Duel", which is expected to start production at the beginning of 2020. That film also stars Matt Damon and Adam Driver.
