Hollywood stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have teamed up to produce a movie inspired by the FIFA scandal. The film is based on Houses of Deceit, a book by BuzzFeed's reporter Ken Bensinger, reported Ace Showbiz.

Gavin O'Connor, who directed Affleck in The Accountant, is attached at the helm while Anthony Tambakis is on board to write the script.
