AFFLECK MOANS TO SMITH

BEN AFFLECK is struggling with his directorial debut GONE, BABY, GONE so much he has called up old friend and film-maker KEVIN SMITH for advice. Affleck has appeared in six Smith movies, including CHASING AMY, JERSEY GIRL and MALLRATS, and the director was reportedly enraged when his former charge failed to cast him in Gone, Baby, Gone. He says, "He started complaining, 'These actors won't do what I say. They make up their own lines, they don't follow the script.' "Then he said, 'I feel your pain.'"
