Look away Jennifer Garner! Ben Affleck flirts with Anna Kendrick in new trailer for gripping thriller The Accountant 

In the latest preview for Ben Affleck's upcoming thriller The Accountant, the actor's character Chris Wolff is seen getting close with Dana Cummings, played by Anna Kendrick.

'How did you get into financial consulting? Cause my dad was an accountant, he had the whole schtick, the dorky pocket protector,' Kendrick's Dana tells Affleck's Chris, who shoots back, 'I have a pocket protector,' opening his jacket to reveal it.

'That's a nice one,' Dana said, as the second preview for the Warner Bros. fall film illustrates how she gradually discovers that Chris - a math savant seemingly working as an accountant - is much more than meets the eye.
