Casey Affleck is attached to star in period noir drama “The Kind One,” based on the just-published novel by Tom Epperson.  

Film will bring together again Affleck with “Gone Baby Gone” producer Sean Bailey. Story takes place in the 1930s Los Angeles, focuses on an amnesiac (Affleck) who finds himself working for a mobster — a sadistic killer given the nickname “The Kind One” — and falling in love with the thug’s girlfriend.

Last year, Affleck starred in “Gone Baby Gone,” which his brother Ben directed, and he had a supporting turn in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” receiving an Oscar nomination for the latter.

He’s on a roll!
