Ben Affleck is currently seeking two actors to take the leading roles in his big screen directorial debut.

The "Daredevil" star, who has only directed once before - a short film entitled "I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her On A Meat Hook, And Now I Have A Three" while at college in 1993 - is now trying his hand at directing again, reports the Internet Media Database.

Affleck will direct Dennis Lehane's best-selling book "Gone, Baby Gone", which will start shooting in Boston this autumn for Disney Pictures. So far he has cast only for the supporting roles.

The Oscar winner bought the rights to the kidnap mystery novel in 2002 and originally planned to star in the film adaptation alongside his then girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.

"To me, I feel like the supporting actors are the most important. You're only as strong as the weakest link. I'm going to fill the supporting roles before going for the protagonist," Affleck said.
