Harris is 'Gone, Baby, Gone'

CHUD has a scoop!  And while that might count as the scoop in and of itself, they actually have some fairly interesting news regardling fan-whipping-boy Ben Affleck's big screen directorial debut, Gone, Baby, Gone.  Affleck is directing the movie based on Dennis Lehane's bestseller about Boston PI's who get involved in a world of police corruption of drug dealers when they are on the case of a missing girl.  Affleck has done the world a favor and cast his handsome and talented brother, Casey Affleck in the lead role.  He will be partnered with the ever-pleasant Michelle Monaghan.  The new news?  Ed Harris might be jumping onto the picture as a 'special units' cop who helps out the leads.  For Ben's sake, I hope this works out because it has become so tiresome defending him to fanboy friends who are still weepy over Daredevil.
