6/22/99 Simon & Schuster's novel, "Medal of Honor," is being developed as a movie for Ben Affleck and Billy Bob Thornton. It is the story of a World War II marine who returns from combat and is recruited as a crimebuster in Arkansas.
6/21/99 Did you see Ben at the mtv movie awards? If you missed it, he was hilarous as usual and kissed Mr. Kevin Smith. NSync also did a paradoy
of Armageddon which was hilarous and Ben seemed amused.
Everyone has been emailing me with an address of Derek (?) from affleck.com father's website
that has pictures of Ben and Casey. You can check them out there at his website.
Entertainment Weekly did a bit called FOB's for Friend of Ben's. It mentions three guys that are working with Ben.
Anyways, here is the good stuff: The Third Wheel should be shooting beginning July 13 (Matt and Ben's movie to produce); Boiler Room is due out January 28!; and
Reindeer Games is due out this coming December (so is Dogma!). Cool.
And last but NOT least Casey was reported in People Magazine this week: "Casey Affleck lost $4,000 gambling during the shooting of the romantic
drama Desert Blue near Tonopah, Nevada, a small one-casino town 'in the middle of nowhere' according to co star Christina Ricci. 'He'd got to the cash
machine, get out more, and he lost a load of money.'"
5/21/99 Ben made an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. Newsaskew scooped the pix below. (note, pictures reprinted w/o permission for fan appreciation only).

4/20/99 Ben posted at the affleck.com boards again!
Read the posts herewww.boards 14 and 15 and here's his update post (reprinted w/o permission)
Hello, folks- Sorry to have been gone for so long. It was a busy, busy week and Derek took up all my free time on the internet trying to
finesse the finer points of inter-planetary combat (long story, no further elaboration-way too nerdy...)
Evidently I won't be starting at quarterback for any NFL team any time soon. One hit from NFL start Dana Stubblefield
(Washington Redskins) during a prison riot sequence we were filming, and my head whacked against the concrete so hard I
barely remember eating lunch that day. I have a whole new sympathy for Troy Aikman. The short of it is, I'm fine. It was a
freak accident, no one was 'at fault' (well, I don't actually remember what happened, but that's what I'm told...) and I'm back at
work this rainy monday morning as if nothing happened. What did happen was (evidently) I cracked my noggin on the floor, was out cold and was taken by ambulance to Vancouver
General Hospital where the fine doctors and nurses took very good care of me. They did all manner of x-rays and cat-scans to
make sure I hadn't damaged myself (I assured them that that was my normal personality) and after some pleasant pain relievers
(and a current, steady diet of Tylenol-3) I was released. I was told I suffered a 'level-3' concussion (I'm not sure what that
means, except that it's short of a 'contusion') and would be a little tired, suffer lingering hangover-like headache symptoms and
otherwise be fine. Some weisenheimer asked me if the head injury was before or after I decided to do 'Armageddon'-- my only
reply is: obviously before, it was right before I signed up for 'Phantoms.' Perhaps you saw that little sewer-monster opus?
Anyway, I'm a little worse for the wear but back on the saddle this monday (though I think from now on, I'll leave the stunts to
the professionals...) Thanks for the sympathy and interest and you can all go back to having cyber-sex with each other or
arguing over which was the best Kubrick movie or whatever else there is to do on the net on a cold, grey monday.

4/19/99 Ben was injured Friday night up in Canada while shooting Reindeer Games. He is fine and doctors kept him one night just in case. But no worries the man is up and doing fine. I'm sure he'll let everyone know at affleck.com when he gets the chance. Pick up a copy of the latest Elle magazine, there is a short article and picture of Casey (I'll have it up here soon)
4/9/99 alot of news today folks....Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck are reuniting -- for a movie. The former lovers, who also starred in "Shakespeare in Love," are planning to work together again in "Bounce," which Variety calls a drama with romantic overtones. It is scheduled to shoot this fall. Miramax will produce, and Don Roos ("The Opposite of Sex") will write and direct. Affleck will play a womanizer who gives up his seat on an airplane to a guy who desperately wants to get home to his wife. After the plane crashes, Affleck's character develops guilt feelings over the other man's death and becomes an alcoholic. One year later, he resolves to check up on the dead man's widow (Paltrow). She is unaware of the role he played in her husband's death, and slowly they fall in love with each other.
Mr. Showbiz has more info
This post is reprinted without permission from affleck.com. Ben posted it last night
about his current plans and where abouts. (Heh, I'm in L.A. maybe I'll run into the boys?)
"Boy, you miss a couple of days and the whole place goes hog wild. It might be physically impossible to answer every question
since the last time I've been here, so let me give you an update. Yes, Dogma (in a pre-emptive and, I think wise, move by the Brothers W.) has been bought back from Disney by it's
producers. It has screened for Cannes and we'll know if it got in by April 22. The US distribution will probably come out of Cannes, although there are only a few distribution networks here and they're all
aware of the movie (though none have seen it.) I think it'll be completed (mixed, final fx etc.) and then screened and released
through one of several possible distributors--and, I suspect, released next fall as planned.I have finished shooting in Prince George and now find myself in the (comperably) enormous metropolitan area that the locals
call The Couv. Vancouver is nice, warmer and we're on a soundstage (the same one that the X-Files TV show was shot on for
five years, coincidentaly-- so I guess the truth is around here somewhere...) I'll be heading back to LA this weekend to do
some voice over for 'Joseph' (The SKG animated follow-up to Prince of Egypt.) I've heard a rumor that my brother is in LA--
so perhaps, if the fates smile on me-- I'll catch up with him too. I saw Matrix last night and thought it was incredible. Visually astonishing and a smart, interesting story to boot. Also, the folks
at the famous players theatre in PG were kind enough to run the Phantom Menace trailer for me (three times) which I thought
was AMAZING (I know I'm behind the times with these, but still.) I, along with everybody else, will be waiting in line to see it
as soon as it comes out. If you're wondering about how I got them to run the trailer, they had asked me to sign a bunch of posters and in exchange they
said they'd run the trailer when I had a chance to see it (as I was working when it was screening) it also saved me the
misfortune of having to sit through the shite movie it was playing in front of.
I see many questions below, ranging from my opinions on Noriega, Castro and JFK to what my favorite color blouse is (thanks
for the movie idea, Brian, I'll keep it in mind.) I'll get to some this weekend when I have a minute or two.
That's about all in terms of update stuff, the movie is coming along really well and I'm pretty excited. Were already a third of the
way through shooting and the most grueling part is behind us. Frankenheimer is brilliant and it's been both a joy and an
education working with him. He's doing an amazing job. Oh, and the paternity tests finally came back and I'm proud to say I am, in fact, Kevin Smith's biological father. He's an errant
lad but good at heart and his mother and I are somewhat proud of him. "
