Ben Affleck was filming what appears to be the lay-off scene at the Fiduciary
Trust Building on the corner of High and Federal St. This picture was taken
when they were filming. They changed Federal St. to "La Salle". There was a
giant crane to capture Ben Affleck from a bird's eye view.
Crews for Ben Affleck's "The Company Men," the made-in-Boston film following
a year in the life of three men trying to survive a round of corporate
downsizing, are filming on the tree-lined streets on the corner of Shamut
Avenue in the South End until Friday, May 15 with veteran actor and Harvard
alum Tommy Lee Jones.
Maria Bello has already filmed a scene with Tommy Lee Jones in Marblehead.
According to the Boston Herald, Tommy Lee Jones was not happy about
standing in the cold weather. Lucky for him, he has a stand-in for exactly these
situations. Bello has also signed on to play Kevin James' wife in the Adam
Sandler movie Lake House which will also be filming in and around Boston.
Production for 'The Company Men' is slotted for 7 a.m.- 7 p.m. Monday through
Friday near South End Buttery and Joe V's at a three-story brownstone located
at 5 Union Park. Filming first hit the Union Park area on Thursday, April 16 and
Friday, April 17.
Affleck and Costner were on set on Monday, May 4 and Wednesday, May 6 at a
dilapidated Victorian house located at 174 Highland Street in the Fort Hill section
of Roxbury. On Tuesday, May 5, Affleck was spotted on Watson Road in Quincy
Point. The scene featured Affleck driving down the road and getting out of a
Volvo wagon with his family including his on-screen wife played by Rosemarie
DeWitt, then entering a small neighborhood home.
