Ben Affleck’s next directorial project is The Town based on the novel by Chuck Hogan.  Affleck is also set to star in the film with Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall, who both recently joined the cast.

Affleck plays a bank robber who falls head over heels in love with the teller of a bank he held up. The teller, who is played by Hall, makes him want to become respectable.  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 golden ticket.

Affleck rewrote the draft by Peter Craig and Hogan.

Shooting begins next month in Boston, a familiar haunt of Affleck’s where he filmed his directorial debut Gone Baby Gone in Boston.
