Ben Affleck’s Gone, Baby, Gone is to Premiere at The Deauville Film Festival of American Film
Filed under: Film News, News
Gone, Baby, Gone is an amalgamation of two Afflecks, a director and cast with a few Academy Awards under their belts, a best-selling novel and a gripping story. It all adds up to a fantastic directional debut from Ben Affleck. The movie will be introduced to the world at the Deauville Festival of American Film on September 5th.
The thriller is based on the novel by Dennis Lehane who wrote Mystic River. The crime drama follows the story of two private investigators who are searching for a 4-year-old girl kidnapped in a rough neighbourhood in Boston.
Ben Affleck produced, directed and co-wrote the film but decided to stay behind the camera in favour of his younger brother Casey who is on the brink of a breakout in Hollywood with roles in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and in the Deauville’s line up.
Joining Casey in the cast of Gone are Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris and Amy Ryan.
Gone, Baby, Gone was shot last summer in the south of Boston. Affleck made it to a point to incorporate real Boston locations and he employed non-professional actors to create a realistic panorama of life on the streets in a part of town that, although blue-collar, is often violent.
Both Affleck brothers are confirmed to attend the world premiere in Deauville with the film being set for an October 19 North American release.
