As reported by Variety, Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall of Vicky Cristina Barcelona have joined The Town, a love triangle heist comedy to be directed Affleck, adapted from the Chuck Hogan novel of the same name.
As written by Michael Fleming in Variety:
“Affleck …playing a bank robber who becomes smitten with the teller of a bank he held up [Hall]. She makes him want to go straight, but she is also the FBI’s golden ticket to catching Boston’s most wanted bank robber.
Hamm plays the FBI agent who also becomes infatuated with the bank employee.”
Sounds like standard rom-com fodder for the most part, but Affleck did some impressive stuff with Gone, Baby, Gone.
Are you excited about these cast additions? The plot of this film? Affleck as a director?
