Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Developing Film on Hulk Hogan's Legal Battle with Gawker

The project, titled 'Killing Gawker,' will be directed by Gus Van Sant and is based on Ryan Holiday's 2018 book.

Charles Randolph, Oscar-winning writer of 'The Big Short,' penned the screenplay.
Affleck is rumored to play Hulk Hogan, with Damon potentially portraying Peter Thiel.
Hogan's lawsuit, backed by Thiel, led to a $140 million judgment and the shutdown of Gawker.
The film is being produced by Affleck and Damon's company, Artists Equity.
No official casting decisions or production start dates have been announced.
