Why does Ben Affleck hate gay people?

February 9, 2015 By Kathy Shaidle

Oh man, this is gonna be a — forgive me — trainwreck:

In the wake of their success with “Gone Girl”, Ben Affleck and director David Fincher will re-team for a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1951 thriller “Strangers on a Train”.

The original has also been analyzed extensively for what many consider to be a homo-erotic attraction between the characters played by Granger and Walker, who had a field day creating one of the era’s most memorable movie villains. Given Affleck will star, chances are this element of the original film will not be present in the remake.

Farley Granger… what a waste…
