Affleck thanks Boston

Ben Affleck has finished shooting his directorial debut Gone, Baby, Gone and thanked Boston residents yesterday for their support while production was underway. "This is a great place to shoot movies," Affleck told the press. "We had an enormous amount of cooperation. There were a lot of people who had to find new parking spaces, who had to go around a lot of detours." Affleck moved his wife and daughter to the city for the three months of shooting, and said they'd enjoyed the break from Hollywood. "Companies thinking about coming here definitely should," the Good Will Hunting actor said to promote his home town. "They'll be met with enthusiasm, and they'll get to shoot in a place that is really unique and distinct... And I want to thank Boston for making that possible."
