Looking for the Cloverfield / 1-18-08 trailer? It’s here.

Did you look really closely at the end credits of the trailer for Gone, Baby, Gone? Blink and you’ll miss it, but the end screen says “directed by Ben Affleck.” Though Affleck is making his directorial debut, I’m pleasantly surprised by how good Gone, Baby, Gone looks.

Gone, Baby, Gone certainly has a great pedigree. It’s based on a novel by Dennis Lehane, who also wrote Mystic River. Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris consistently do good work, though it is strange to see Harris with hair. Casey Affleck may be benefiting from being the director’s brother, but it looks like he can carry this film.

I’m rooting for Ben Affleck to surprise everybody with rave reviews. I certainly can’t wait to SEE IT.

Gone, Baby, Gone is rated R and opens on October 19 in limited release. (IMDb page)
