David M Rosenthal, known for thrillers 'The Perfect Guy' and 'Jacob's Ladder', will direct the movie, which will also feature actors Marisa Tomei, Isabel May, and Yul Vazquez.

'Smack' follows a con man (Affleck) who has hit rock bottom when he meets an upstart hustler (Taylor).

"After a tip from a wise con (Arkin), the two of them head to LA to pull off the biggest scam of their lives... but they learn they aren't the only ones looking for the money, with a list of schemers including his ambitious ex (Tomei).

"As the con unfolds, the man can't figure out if he and the woman are actually falling in love or being set up for the ultimate grift," the official plotline read.

Rosenthal and Keith Kjarval have penned the script for the movie, set to start shooting later this year.
