Ben Affleck to Direct Film Version of Gone Baby Gone
Ben Affleck is set to make his feature film directing debut for Touchstone Pictures, according to a Walt Disney Company spokesman. He will write and direct the film adaptation of Dennis Lehane's novel, Gone, Baby, Gone. Affleck won an Oscar for co-writing Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon. Lehane's last film adapation was the critically-acclaimed Mystic River, which was directed by Clint Eastwood. Affleck's acting career has certainly had its ups and downs lately and he could really use a hit. Well, we know he can write, so it sounds good to us.
