BOO!
Ben Affleck is supposed to star in and direct a World War Two Drama based on the Ghost Army. The United States Army recruited artists, advertising experts, and other creative types. This military unit specialized in creating illusions that helped the United States win the war. Portions of this fascinating story about battlefield deception are still classified.*
Art. Illusion. Deception... and war. This is the amazing true story of a secret US Army mission to trick the Germans during World War II. From 1944 until the final stages of the war, a US army unit called The Ghost Army designed and implemented incredible feats of illusion designed to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units.
