Re: Ben Affleck filming Gone Girl

LOVED the book. Terrific writing.

I like Afleck in the role, but I wonder if the film will be anywhere near as good as the book was.

I think it may be difficult for the film to be as good as the book, but Gillian Flynn also wrote the screenplay, and with David Fincher as the director, I have high hopes!

Future, Do you picture Neil Patrick Harris in the role of Desi? I love NPH, but he is just not who I would picture as Desi.

I think he's really talented, and will find a way to pull it off. Smiley Happy I have a feeling this is one movie I'll redbox. ESP since I know the ending. Lol!

I've heard it's a dreadful book, but I appreciate Affleck's talent.


It sounds like it should be a LifeTime movie, like Gone. Enjoyed that movie with Amanda Seyfried! (sp)

GONE GIRL is so out of Lifetime's league.

I enjoy NPH when he is hosting award shows or he is a guest on talk shows. As far as acting, he pretty much always plays the same role. (smug and arrogant)

I haven't read this book yet Future. I will definitely see the movie! Hope you are doing well. Happy New Year.

I agree NPH is talented, and I love him, but just didn't see him as Desi. :-) I'm sure he'll be great, but just different from what I had imagined!
