I loved the pairing of Olympia Dukakis and Shirley MacLaine in "Steel Magnolias" (many years ago, now) and I'm sure they'll bring the same magic to their new movie - they have great chemistry!

Shouldn't that movie be called "The Stone Cold One"?

Errr... Gee, Mickey, didn't Casey Affleck already get a shot at a lead role in Gone Baby Gone?

So, maybe your item should have read, Casey Affleck follows his critically acclaimed lead role in Gone Baby Gone with the lead in The Kind One.

Just sayin'
