Beantown boys-turned-Hollywood hunks Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are bringing the story of recently-captured Boston mafia don Whitey Bulger to the silver screen.

Damon told GQ he will play Bulger, while Affleck is set to direct and act in the film. Terence Winter, of HBO's critically-acclaimed Boardwalk Empire, is the scriptwriter.

Damon and Affleck won the Oscar for best original screenplay for their 1997 opus Good Will Hunting.

Mobster James “Whitey” Bulger’s girlfriend was indicted Thursday by federal prosecutors for conspiracy to harbor and conceal a fugitive.

Catherine Greig, who was living with Bulger in their small Santa Monica, Calif. apartment when he was arrested by the FBI, was arrested the same day and is being charged with helping him hide for the 16 years he was on the run.

She has been in jail since their June arrest. Bulger is charged with 19 murders while he was a mob boss leading the Winter Hill Gang. He has pleaded not guilty.

James “Whitey” Bulger, the crime boss who has been charged with 19 counts of murder, isn’t faring very well in jail, the wife of a fellow inmate has told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“Whitey has been put in ‘the hole’ and is kept confined with no sunlight,” inmate Adrian Alves’ wife Carrie tells us.

He was number two on the FBI’s Most Wanted List – right behind Osama bin Laden. (When bin Laden died, he became number 1).

After spending 16 years on the run, Boston-based mafia kingpin James "Whitey" Bulger will face a federal judge in a Los Angeles courtroom Thursday to face charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, narcotics distribution, extortion and money laundering, among others.

Bulger, who inspired aspects of Jack Nicholson's character in the Oscar-winning 2006 film The Departed, has appeared on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list -- with a $2 million reward for key info -- in connection with 19 murders he's tied to.

The FBI said Bulger, who was allegedly the head of Boston's Winter Hill Gang, played a “role in numerous murders committed from the early 1970s through the mid-1980s in connection with his leadership of an organized crime group that allegedly controlled extortion, drug deals, and other illegal activities.”
