Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We're seeing a return to the period crime dramas... Michael Mann has PUBLIC ENEMIES in the works with Depp and Bale, Clint Eastwood has CHANGELING with Angelina Jolie and now Ridley Scott has THE KIND ONE, with Casey Affleck in the lead. He won't be the title character, though. Affleck will play an amnesiac working for a gangster in 1930s LA. The gangster is known as The Kind One... an ironic moniker as he will be far from kind.

Warner Bros is releasing the project, based on a book by Tom Epperson, who will also pen the screenplay. Thoughts?
