The Affleck Boys Are Back, Baby, Back

PopSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 08:57:29 -0700

Ben Affleck and his brother Casey headed to London today to pose together for a photocall for Gone Baby Gone. The movie came out in the states last year, but the release was held in the UK after the tragic disappearance of Madeleine McCann last May. While the subject matter is definitely heavy, we're hoping that audiences will still check out the film overseas, since those Affleck boys do pretty great things when they combine their talents.

Ben Affleck in Spain, Not About to Leave LA

PopSugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:00:00 -0700

Ben Affleck looked more exhausted than ever jetting from France to Spain to keep promoting his Gone Baby Gone overseas. While he's been spending time abroad, his reps have been working to sort out a media mishap from Ben's interview with Details magazine. Apparently the writer misquoted Ben as saying that he'll leave LA if his movie isn't a success and that his movie is "really f-ing good." We thought it sounded a little odd for Ben to say that he would leave the business, but we're glad that he was able to clear that up. Considering the reviews for Gone Baby Gone are positive, it's nothing he has to worry about anyway.

Ben Brings One Baby to Germany, Another Plays On

Molly — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 09:16:07 -0700

Here's some commitment - as Ben's boys the Red Sox are on their World Series run he is off in Germany continuing to showcase his other baby, Gone Baby Gone. Ben's been pretty tireless with the premieres, it's no question why he's looking so exhausted here alongside one of his movie's stars, Amy Ryan. Unless this European trip is a short one, it looks like Ben might miss his chance to watch this series live in person. Though, there's no doubt that he'll find a way to watch the games and support the team, even continents away.

Ben and Casey Keep Gone Baby Going Strong

Molly — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 00:35:45 -0700

After Monday night's cute friend-fest at the Boston premiere of Gone Baby Gone, Ben and Casey sent Matt on his way to Japan and brought their movie to a NYC screening hosted by Details. Another GBG premiere night and another loss for the Red Sox; it's probably best for the boys not to be watching the games if they want to keep those smiles on their faces. The Brothers Affleck were joined on the red carpet by Amy Ryan, who stars in the film, Patricia Heaton and Sheryl Crow. Jen, on the other hand, was back to preview performances of Cyrano de Bergerac. Casey stopped by Letterman last night to talk about both GBG and Jesse James. Though the highlight was really when Casey told that story about his brother making him jump into that treacherous quarry...twice. Love brothers, especially these ones.

Ben, Matt & Casey Return to Boston, Baby, Boston

Molly — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 11:45:04 -0700

It was a triumphant homecoming for the Affleck brothers alongside Matt Damon and their wives at the Boston premiere of Gone Baby Gone last night. Even while the boys' beloved Red Sox lost game 3 of the ACLS to the Indians in Cleveland (sad), there was nothing but happy in the house. There's every reason for the Affleck boys to be in good spirits - the movie is getting great reviews (check back at the end of the week to read mine on Buzz). It's extra fun to see that Matt made sure to be there for his friend. He told the press last night that he wasn't supposed to be able to make his friends' big night. He said:

"I was supposed to be in Japan, and I was about the leave and just said 'I can't do it. I have to go to Boston to support this movie and these guys.' It's such a huge night for them… So, I'm going to Japan tomorrow morning."

Awwww. All their kiddies sat this one out, but I'm sure that the happy couples just had a blast back in Boston celebrating Ben's directorial debut together. Seeing the boys together just warms the heart, not to mention that they're all pretty easy on the eyes.

Ben & Casey's Gone Baby Goes to LA

Molly — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 00:17:35 -0700

The beautiful Affleck brothers were wifeless but happy for the red carpet premiere of their Gone Baby Gone in LA last night. We know the pressure of this movie has given Ben some some stress, but it looks like he's finally maybe relaxed a little bit. He certainly deserves it, too, the movie is still getting great reviews - yay. Ben and Casey were joined by Neve Campbell and a gorgeously pregnant Garcelle Beauvais. After Jen's whirlwind trip through Europe last week, she and Ben must have done a Violet hand off in NYC while she is back to Broadway rehearsals and he does his west coast promotional stint. Hopefully Ben and Casey will be back to their respective babies soon.

The Afflecks' Brotherly Love

PopSugar — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 10:05:19 -0700

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

Afflecks Get A Great Review...And Their Movie Does, Too

Molly — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:45:35 -0700

The Affleck Brothers continued on sans wives and kids with a brotherly premiere of Gone, Baby, Gone at the Deauville Festival last night. Gotta love brothers -- especially when they're this handsome. While it's always a treat to see Afflecks working together, apparently this wasn't just a case of playing favorites -- according to the first reviews of the movie both Ben and Casey did an excellent job on the movie. The Hollywood Reporter not only called it the best performance of Casey's career, but said it will be "remembered as one of the best crime movies of this decade." Both Jennifer and Matt loved it too, but this must feel great. Don't want to get too excited just yet, but little Violet will be so proud.

Affleck, Baby, Affleck

Molly — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:29:53 -0700

Ben stood proudly next to (not touching) his baby bro Casey at the press conference for Gone, Baby, Gone at the Deauville Film Festival today, then stepped outside to take some pictures with fans. Casey's been in town since premiering Jesse James there over the weekend, but this must have been an extra special afternoon celebrating his big brother's directorial debut (no wives allowed). Jen may have sat this one out, but she's still adorably gushy about Ben's project. She recently said about watching it again and again, "I cry in a different place for a different reason every time." While that's definitely an interesting reaction - considering it's not a feel good film, I imagine that's the biggest compliment his wife could give him.

Smokin' Aces Helps Ben Quit Smokin'

PopSugar — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 15:28:06 -0800

Smokin' Aces may not be heating things up at the box office, but it has still been a smart move on Ben Affleck's part - it actually helped him quit smoking. That will definitely give him more energy to put into Jen, Violet, and the film he's written and directed, Gone, Baby, Gone. Ben recently stopped for a Q&A about family life, his GG Nom, and the upside of nepotism. Here's highlights:

You may not have won, but congrats on the Golden Globe nomination.
I was very happy. My wife was up early with our child and [woke me up] to tell me I'd been nominated – and to get me to change the baby.
You play a chain-smoking bail bondsman in Smokin' Aces. You're a smoker, right?
The whole week that I shot, I smoked, like, five packs a day. By the time the movie was over, I was so sick of smoking, I just didn't want to do it anymore, and I quit. I have this celluloid record of the last time I smoked.
How was directing your brother Casey, 31, in Gone, Baby, Gone?
A pleasure. It was like directing anybody else, except I could fantasize that if it came down to it I could throttle him.
