A week ago we mentioned the filming of a movie called "Stiffs" in the North End, but now we read that the Afflecks are coming to Boston:

Don’t breathe a word of this. Because nobody’s supposed to know. But word from La-La is that Ben Affleck will cast his bro, Casey, and “Mission: Impossible III’s” Michelle Monaghan to play the leads in his big screen adaptation of Boston writer Dennis Lehane’s “Gone Baby Gone.”
Affleck, making his mainstream directorial debut, intends to begin filming the kidnap thriller in Boston in the spring.

Thanks to a new tax incentive program, the Bay State is becoming everyone's favorite place to make movies. The Herald's Inside Track reports:

And speaking of movies, Dawson reports that there are eight big-budget productions currently scouting in the state thanks to the tax-incentive package that was signed into law in January.
“In my more than 10 years I’ve never had this many projects scouting simultaneously,” Dawson said. “I think this spring Massachusetts is going to bust open.”

That means that soon Boston will be just like that magical place they call "La-La", complete with dysfunctional insecure actresses and L Ron Hubbard clones. We. Cannot. Wait.
