    • Ben Affleck Signs Onto The Company Men

    Bruce WillisCarlsberg don’t do comebacks, but if they did, they’d look a lot like Ben Affleck’s.

    For, after some time in the wilderness, Mr. Jennifer Garner has been extraordinarily busy of late. He stepped in to fill Edward Norton’s shoes in State Of Play, then moved onto prepping his next directorial vehicle, The Town (which he will also star in), as well as bagging a supporting role in Mike Judge’s new comedy, Extract.

    And now he’s added another starring role to that little list, in John Wells’ The Company Men.

    It’s early days yet for the drama, which had been stationed at Warners and is now looking for a new home, but Affleck looks set to play a man who is laid off at work and must struggle to keep his head above water as the bills mount up at home.

    So it’s clearly very timely in the quote-unquote current climate. The only question will be: if things carry on the way, will anyone a) want to see a movie reflecting their economic struggle, and b) be able to afford to buy a ticket?

    The movie will be written, produced and directed by Wells, who’s been the executive producer of ER since the show started in 1994. Clearly, with it coming to an end this season, he feels it’s time to get behind the camera on a movie set.

    And if you’re wondering why the title is plural, not singular, a second male lead has yet to be cast.
