Affleck offers sympathy
for Columbia crew
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Ben Affleck, who
played an oil driller who goes into space to
help save the world in "Armageddon," was
glad he had to work Saturday so he could
take his mind off the explosion of the shut
tle Columbia.
The 30-year-old actor was busy doing
interviews for his new movie, the comic
book adaptation "Daredevil," in which he
plays a blind hero whose other senses are
superhuman. The movie opens Feb. 14.
"It meant that I wasn't glued to the televi
sion watching the endless coverage," Affleck
told The Associated Press in an interview
Sunday. "Because I'll get caught up, just sit
ting there staring at the TV all day. It gets me
so, I don't know. I don't think it's good for
you after a while."
Affleck co-starred in the 1998
"Armageddon,"about a team of oil rough
necks sent into space on souped-up shut
tles to destroy an asteroid about to strife
Earth. Parts of the movie were shot at
facilities, including some scenes aboard till
Columbia itself, Affleck recalled.
"I've been to Kennedy and Johnson spas
centers. We actually filmed the Columbia, fw
been on the Columbia, inside it," he said.
Affleck met astronauts and support
crews, though none of the seven killedoi
the Columbia.
"I sort of felt for them, because it's sudu
team effort," he said.
