Photos from 'The Company Men' set in Marblehead

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, filmed scenes with Harvard Alum Tommy Lee Jones at a private residence on Crowninshield Road in Marblehead on Tuesday, May 26. The home, with a stunning waterfront view, is the residence of Brian and Nancy McCarthy of Kelly's Roast Beef fame.

"Everyone working seemed relaxed, smiling and enjoying the beautiful weather," reports Ryan Miner from Beantown Photo, on assignment for Loaded Gun Boston. "The traffic was flowing nicely with no backups. Those who did show up to try and maybe say 'hi,' get some pics, and meet the actors or get an autograph didn’t stick around long because from the only viewpoint available filming was about a quarter of a mile away."

However, Miner says it was a tight set. "Police were stationed at the bottom of Crowninshield Road and only allowed local homeowners up the street. I heard second hand they said to a woman that they will arrest anyone trying to walk up the private road into the neighborhood."

Miner continues, "You can see a long mic boom so they may have been doing some outside filming, but the camera kept passing from in front of the left hand side of the house to around the corner, and into the area behind the light screens."

As previously reported, crews for John Wells' downsizing drama "The Company Men" are slotted to film on Wednesday, May 27 at Daisy Buchanan's pub located located at 240 Newbury St. on the corner of Fairfield.

Excluding the scene slotted with Affleck's golf club-wielding double at the Gannon Municipal Golf Course in Lynn on Tuesday, June 2, "The Company Men" production is ending later this week for the principal actors with a wrap party slotted for Sunday, May 31.
