Ben Affleck recenty in town for 'The Town'

Cambridge homeboy Ben Affleck, last seen accompanying his very pregnant wife Jennifer Garner to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills on Sunday, Jan. 4, reportedly spent some jail time at the Norfolk County House of Correction with an yet-to-be-named convicted bank robber from Charlestown.

Why? He was prepping for an upcoming made-in-Boston film.

As previously reported in Loaded Gun, Affleck will follow-up his made-in-Boston directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone" with the Charlestown-based flick "The Town," an adaptation of the blue-collar heist novel by Chuck Hogan which was written for the big screen by Peter Craig.

The homegrown talent will write, star and direct in the film following a bizarre love triangle involving a crook, a female bankteller and a FBI agent.

Graham King, producer of recently shot "Edge of Darkness" starring Mel Gibson and owner of John "Whitey's hit man" Martorano's life story slotted to be directed by Martin Scorsese, plans to make a return trip to the Hub with Affleck's "The Town."

Based on Affleck's recent sighting at the Norfolk County House of Correction, expect production of the flick to kick off in the spring of '09.
