Casey Affleck is attached to star in the drama Race to the South Pole for Warner Bros., which will be produced by Casey’s brother Ben, along with Matt Damon and Jennifer Todd, according to THR.

Peter Glanz will write the screenplay based on the race between English explorer Robert Falcon Scott (Casey Affleck) and a Norwegian Roald Amundsen to be the first to make it to the South Pole in the early 1900s. To be honest, it’s surprising the story hasn’t hit the big screen more often – although considering the fate of Scott and his fellow explorers, it’s difficult to make a movie tha ends on a high note.

No director is attached at this time, and it isn’t known if either Ben Affleck or Matt Damon have any interest in directing this project, or if they will only produce.
