Showcasing the finest in independent film, the lineup for the 29th annual Sundance Film Festival was announced on Wednesday (November 28).

This year's crop includes a lot of big name stars. According to John Cooper, director of the festival, "It's a reflection of the landscape. We notice that there's a very, very vital community of actors taking roles in independent films — well known actors in particular."

Teaming up their talents for the first time since "Good Will Hunting," Ben Affleck is set to work alongside best friend Matt Damon in a project about New England’s most notorious gangster, Whitey Bulger.

Ben, who is looking to direct the Warner Bros. flick, will also take on co-starring and producing duties with Matt, who reported to play Bugler himself.

They're both well-known actors in Hollywood and now the Affleck brothers are coming together to rewrite a baseball flick together.

Ben and younger brother Casey are teaming up to re-do “The Trade” – a real-life story of two Yankees pitchers who swapped wives in the 1970s.
