As most of you know, Ben Affleck is getting ready to make his directorial debut with his film “Gone Baby Gone“. He’s already pulled off the next to impossible task of getting his younger brother to appear in the film, as well as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang hottie Michelle Monaghan. But come one, what serious actor wants to hook up with a film that Ben Affleck is directing right?
Well, it appears maybe a couple of big names. Reports are now saying that multi Oscar nominee Ed Harris has joined up for the project, and that Morgan Freeman could be on lhis way as well. That’s adding some serious talent fire power. Do these guys know something about Affleck that we don’t? Here’s a quick synopsis of Gone Baby Gone from the good folks over at CHUD:
The thriller follows Affleck and Monaghan’s Beantown private detective duo who, while on a child-abduction case, get enmeshed in a web of drug dealers and police corruption. Harris, last seen menacing The Vig in A History of Violence, will be on the other side of the badge to play Remy Broussard, a special crimes unit cop who assists the dicks on their case.
Sounds SLIGHTLY interesting. I’ll reserve all judgements till be get closer to an actual release. But as for the issue at hand… is anyone else surprised that Harris would sign up for this?
