Gone, Baby, Gone Trailer

The trailer for the movie Gone, Baby, Gone, based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, is up on Yahoo! Movies. The movie, directed by Ben Affleck (and I know there are a lot of Affleck-haters out there, but give the man a chance at directing – this actually looks to be smartly made), stars Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman, and Ed Harris, and opens in limited release October 19, 2007.

Gone, Baby, Gone, the fourth book in a series of five, features private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro searching for a missing little girl. They mix it up with the cops and the people of the streets in Boston. It’s a hard-hitting and emotional crime/mystery/thriller. I can’t say enough good things about this series of books by Dennis Lehane (author of the also fantastic Mystic River - made into a movie a few years back by Clint Eastwood). Anyway, the trailer looks great and I’ll be in line opening day – and it better open here in Des Moines, or I’ll be forced to make the drive and see it somewhere else.
