Trailer Bulletin: Ben Affleck's "Gone Baby Gone"
He's won an Oscar for screenwriting and he's known as a (pretty) good actor, but can Ben Affleck ... direct? You be the judge.
Click here for the first trailer for Ben Affleck's "Gone Baby Gone," an abduction thriller that stars Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris, Michelle Monaghan, and (in his first big starring role) Casey Affleck as a detective who aims to discover what happened to a missing little girl.
Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane ("Mystic River"), the screenplay comes from Affleck and first-timer Aaron Stockard. Trailers can be deceptive (obviously), but the flick looks pretty solid to me. As always, the promo clip gives away too much, but I'm still pretty intrigued by this one. Miramax releases "Gone Baby Gone" (in limited release) on October 19th.

on Jul 09 2007 12:31 PM Yeah yeah, but for reals check the trailer out...it looks pretty good, and I'm all for Casey Affleck stepping foot in Leading Man territory... (Reply to this) |
on Jul 09 2007 01:33 PM Pretty impressive cast too. I'm all about the Affleck. He kicked ass in Hollywoodland and of course was "The bomb in Phantoms". Seriously I think it's time we forgave poor Ben for the J-lo debacle. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 09 2007 02:13 PM I don't care what people think about Affleck, the movie and the direction looks solid from the trailer. That's it. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 09 2007 05:53 PM Looks awfully similar to Stallone's "Copland". (Reply to this) |

on Jul 10 2007 06:17 AM I'm a little undecided on it, but I'll give it a shot. The trailer was a little confusing to me. Is it about crooked cops or what? (Reply to this) |

on Jul 10 2007 07:43 AM as much as I think he's a horrible actor I think he's done a very good job lying low in an effort to start over. so good for him. and Phantoms, nice. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 15 2007 02:18 AM It's based on a great book by an incredible author, so hopefully even Ben can't screw it up too bad. Casting his brother as Kenzie though? Ouch. One strike against it right away. (Reply to this) |
