For his directorial debut, Ben Affleck went back home to Boston, adapting Hub writer Dennis Lehane's Gone Baby Gone which is set in the city's rough South End and concerns a missing child investigation. Affleck talks about casting his brother Casey as the youngish detective asked to join the police in the case, finding locals on the spur of the moment, adapting the book's complicated structure and the pressures on a first-time director.
