Affleck To Make Directorial Debut

[Zebra 3]

(WENN) Hollywood actor Ben Affleck will move behind the camera, after signing up to make his directorial debut. The Gigli star will helm the adaptation of the novel Gone, Baby, Gone, written by Mystic River author Dennis Lehane. The film will follow two private detectives in a working-class Boston, Massachusetts, neighborhood who are hired to search for a kidnapped four-year-old girl. Affleck, who most recently appeared onscreen in Surviving Christmas, will not appear in the movie, and will start shooting in Boston, where he grew up, in the autumn.
