It's being reported that none other than Ben Affleck will play George Reeves in Focus Features' "Truth, Justice and the American Way." The story centers on a detective in Los Angeles trying to solve Reeves' mysterious death. Reeves met a tragic, mysterious end in 1959 after years portraying TV's Superman.

Diane Lane will also star in the film as Toni Mannix, the wife of a Hollywood executive who might have been linked to Reeves romantically. And Adrian Brody will play the detective.

Allen Coulter is directing from a script by Paul Bernbaum and rewritten by Howard Korder.
