Actor Ed Harris ("Radio") will star in Ben Affleck's feature directorial debut "Gone, Baby, Gone," Variety reports.

Affleck also wrote the screenplay based on the 1999 Dennis Lehane novel about two private investigators hunting for an abducted 4-year-old in Boston's underworld.

Affleck's younger brother Casey ("Ocean's Twelve") also stars as well as Michelle Monaghan ("North Country").

The film will begin shooting in Affleck's hometown of Boston in May.

Harris will next star in "Copying Beethoven," a fictionalized account of the composer's last days due in theatres sometime this year.
