Per the IMDB: [Ben] Affleck To Make Directorial Debut
Really? When does he makes his acting debut?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Man, with jokes that good, this blog will take off in no time!
Actually, GAAK, the joke’s on me, because it turns out that Affleck will be directing and starring in an adaptation of one of my favorite, and certainly among the best-written, detective series. It’s a Dennis Lehane book, the guy who wrote Mystic River, as brought to the screen by Clint Eastwood. Seriously, if you at all like detective novels, this series is a corker. Sadly, Lehane has abandoned it since moving on to ‘serious’ literature.
I hope the author isn’t counting on another film as good as that good.
