When the domestic trailer was released for The Town, it was evident that Ben Affleck was going to bring his A-game both behind and in front of the camera. The actor directs and stars in the Boston-set crime drama as a crook who wants out of his gangster lifestyle. Over on Trailer Addict, they’ve released the international version of the trailer and it brings the heat!
Not long ago The Town which stars the impressive cast of Ben Affleck, Jon Hamm, Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, Chris Cooper and Rebecca Hall released their first trailer, which had WAY too many big spoilers in it but did show quite a bit of promise for a romantic, suspenseful, crime-thriller. The film was also directed and partly written by the star of the film Ben Affleck, who has more than proved his strength behind the camera with Gone Baby Gone — being in front and behind is a bit scary, sadly his brother was busy creating I’m Still Here. Hopefully he succeed in multi-tasking where others have failed.

The first trailer has been released for the newest film from Ben Affleck entitled, The Town. He directs and stars in the film about lies, manipulation, and love set against the backdrop of a bank job gone wrong — or right depending on how you look at it. The film takes place in Boston (no surprise there) so get ready for some serious accents and Blake Lively doing her best white trash-baby mama impression. Take a look…
Another actor has joined the cast of The Town, the second directorial vehicle for Ben Affleck. Gossip Girl staple Blake Lively has signed on to star in the film according to THR. The film is being produced by Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures, and already features a strong acting ensemble.

Earlier this week we reported that Mad Men star Jon Hamm would be joining the romantic crime thriller The Town. Now according to THR, Jeremy Renner has also been cast in the film. Renner has been receiving rave reviews for his performance in the indie flick The Hurt Locker, and now he’s decided to lighten things up a bit. The Town is the second film to be directed by co-star Ben Affleck, and will be produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.
Mad Men‘s Don Draper aka Jon Hamm continues to take a step in the feature film direction with his acting career. Last year he had a supporting role in the big screen remake of the sci-fi classic, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and now he’s moving on to The Town. According to THR, Hamm has signed on to join the film, which will co-star Ben Affleck who is also directing.
