Affleck and Damon prepare to Trade Wives
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are pairing up again, and just after getting a First Look deal with WB, they already have their plan on the table.
They are going to trade wives. No, Bennifer isn’t breaking up. The two will portray Yankee Ball players in the early 70s who fell in love with each other’s wives.
JoBlo says:
THE TRADE, the true story of two Yankees player who swapped wives in the 1970s. Uh, what?“Teammates Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich stunned the country when they disclosed in spring training 1973 that they were trading wives. Peterson had fallen in love with Susanne Kekich and his teammate fell in love with Marilyn Peterson. Fritz and Susanne remain a couple till this day, while Mike and Marilyn drifted apart.”
These two have a great chemistry on screen do so much together you might even wonder if a wife swap themselves. You know, just for kicks. They share everything else!
But this is based on a true story, and it wasn’t a sexy swingin 70s key party.. this was an actual wife trade. They were not happy in their marriages, and fell in love with the other guy’s gal.
How do you like them apples?
Boston guys playin Yanks?
HAHA! Luv it!
As for Damon and Affleck “trading wives”, I’m sure they’ve heard it. Maybe that’s where the original idea for them to write this story came from?
Considering The Trade will be based on the TRUE STORY of the two NY Yankee players who fell in love with each other’s wives would have a LOT to do with the plot.
Just sayin.
I know this duo would be more likely to produce a Red Sox movie like Fever Pitch, but the next best thing to making the home team look good is making the rival team look back. Well done.
I am sure their motivation for making this a NY Yankees based movie has a lot to do with the fact that this is actually based on something that ACTUALLY happened to two NY Yankee players.
affleck playing a yankee??? never thought this would happen
