Ben Affleck, 31, is in the news for walking out on someone once again.

No, it's not a rerun of the Bennifer days.

This time, it's director Jerry Bruckheimer.

Affleck opted out of his film, Glory Road, a Disney project. The studio says that Affleck faced a 'scheduling conflict', according to People magazine. But trade reports claim that they could not arrive at a 'proper' deal.

In all probability, 33 year-old Josh Lucas (The Hulk) will replace him.

Glory Road is based on a Texas Western basketball coach who created NCAA history when his all-black team won in 1966.
