September 10, 2010 -- Today, Ben and Casey Affleck are at the Toronto Film Festival showing off their flicks. But the two of these filmmaker brothers in competition started in Italy at the Venice Film Festival this past week.

Or did it? And is there really a competition between the two movie making siblings, or simply a comraderie? Does it matter?

In any event (pick the answer to one or more of the above questions), Casey has showed up to show off his film about the lost year of Joaquin Phoenix called 'I'm Still Here' while Ben is in Canada with his heist flick titled 'The Town' co-starring himself and fellow hunk Jon Hamm.

The two movies are very different, as are the two kin. But, with Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck in the same town at the same time, a tale of two filmmaker brothers is bound to get meatier as the Toronto Film Festival wears on -- so stay tuned. More on this reunion/union to come.
