Mysteries on DVD, the website for mystery books that have been adapted into movies, has added a new title to its list of mystery movies now available on DVD.
Based on the best-selling novel by Dennis Lehane, and adapted for the screen by Academy Award winner Ben Affleck who also directed, Gone Baby Gone arrives on DVD this week. The movie stars Affleck's younger brother Casey as Patrick Kenzie, and Michelle Monaghan as Angela Gennaro, private investigators in Boston who are hired to take a closer look at the mysterious disappearance of a little girl and soon discover that nothing is what it seems. Ultimately, they will have to risk everything -- their relationship, their sanity, and even their lives -- to find a little girl-lost. Gone Baby Gone has already won a large number of film critic awards, and is nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for Amy Ryan's performance as Helene McCready, the mother of the missing girl.
A trailer for the movie can be viewed on the Amazon.com product page. Gone Baby Gone is also available on Blu-ray disc.
Gone Baby Gone is the fourth book in Lehane's series of mysteries that feature Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. It is also the second of his books to be made into a movie. The first, the non-series novel Mystic River, was released in 2003 and directed by Clint Eastwood. It was nominated for six Academy Awards and ultimately won two, Sean Penn for Best Actor, and Tim Robbins for Best Supporting Actor. Mystic River is currently available on DVD in a 3-disc collector's edition. For more information about these two books and the movies adapted from them visit Mysteries on DVD: Gone Baby Gone and Mysteries on DVD: Mystic River.
Look for another Lehane novel to hit the big screen next year. Shutter Island is currently in production starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Teddy Daniels, a US Marshal investigating the disappearance of a patient confined to a hospital for the criminally insane on a remote and desolate island.
