Last night the Affleck brothers and Amy Ryan had a special screening of Ben's directorial debut of Gone Baby Gone. Ben has expressed how he's got a lot riding on the film, but one thing he was sure of was casting his brother Casey. The lesser known Affleck mostly does indie flicks with bit parts in Ocean's thrown in. Apparently he's about to amaze us in two films this year - Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse James. Ben said,
“He was the obvious choice by far. I think he’s a really good actor, but he also had the benefit of people not being as aware of him. Other actors, you have this expectation of what they’ll do. But Casey? He could surprise you.”
We can't wait to see the finished product of both Afflecks collaborating. Looks like Casey could be in for a very exciting year, especially with a new baby on the way too! To see more of Ben and Casey just read more

I'm really looking forward to seeing this film!
1loved casey since forever. summer phoenix is one lucky lady! ed harris and morgan freeman being in it clinches that i'll see it; two of the best actors working today.
2Ben has such a cheeky grin.
3to much hottness
4Affleck boys make my cheeks flush!
5I prefer casey over ben. I loved him in Drowning Mona and ever since.
6Hmmm wonder what this will be like...lots of riding eh?!
7Haha dirty mind...
such cute boys! i cant wait to see that new movie.
8I love Casey but I cannot stand Ben. I think I will watch it and close my eyes whenever ben comes on the screen.
9how do guys sit with their legs crossed... doesn't it hurt?..
10haha, mini ben
11I can't wait for this movie!
12I can't wait to see GBG!
13Casey! Casey! Casey!
14De-lish...
You don't have to close your eyes when Ben comes on screen - Ben is directing - geez. This is going to be really good though -Ben has a history of dragging Matt or his brother into lots of things - he told a funny story once abour hauling Matt off somewhere to try out for the Mickey Mouse Club. Luckily - neither one of them made it or Britney might have sunk her fangs into one of them.
15I have loved Casey since 200 Cigarettes, I am glad to see he has some work coming out that may get him some more mainstream recongnition although I will always love his Indi films.
16I'm excited for this movie.
Why do people think Ben is in it! He directed it - he's not acting in it!
Crystal - I like your avatar
17Love Casey! One of my fave films is Drowning Mona; he's part was wonderful. Summer is one very lucky person.
18i'm lovin' the affleck brothers and have high hopes for ben's film future. he should stick with writing, directing and producing -- he has been (and probably will continue to be) more effective in those areas than in acting.
19Someone mentioned 200 Cigarettes wow I remember that movie....loved him in it as well! I also loved him in The Ocean movies....he was great!
I love ben too though, he's my hunny!
20Ben looks great lately. Is it just me or does he look like he lost a little weight?
21LOL skinnyforme.
22zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
23I love Casey !! can't wait to see this movie, looks good.
24Casey's awesome! Much better than his brother! Unfortunately, I won't be able to see this film because it's not being released in the UK. Booo!
25I've loved Casey ever since "200 Cigarettes", but I definitely think he should stay away from the mainstream movies. That's what screwed with Ben's career. It was downhill after "Armageddon".
26Ben look so happy those days and his movies allready got good revews. Bravo.
