Also, word on the street is that Pete Postlethwaite, a veteran British character actor known for his severe bony cheeks and performance in "The Usual Suspects," has joined the growing cast.
"The Town" also stars Jon Hamm, known as Don Draper from "Mad Men," as a FBI agent who becomes smitten with a female bank employee, played by "Frost/Nixon" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" actress Rebecca Hall.
Affleck, playing Boston's most wanted bank robber, is both directing and starring in the film following a bizarre love triangle involving a crook, a bankteller and a FBI agent. The movie is an adaptation of the blue-collar heist novel "Prince of Thieves" by Chuck Hogan which was written for the big screen by Peter Craig and Affleck.
Last week, actress Blake Lively, known as Serena van der Woodsen from "Gossip Girl," was spotted on the Charlestown set holding a young tot. She's signed on to play alongside Affleck as his troubled ex-girlfriend. Jeremy Renner, winning over critics with his role in "The Hurt Locker," was also on set and stars as Lively's brother and Affleck's partner in crime.
Meanwhile, crews are preparing for an elaborate shoot 'em up scene at Fenway Park scheduled to shoot sometime later this month. "Expect gun fire and a few cars exploding," an inside source spills.
Later on Wednesday, Sept. 9, cast and crew ordered 14 pizzas from Ernesto's Pizza located at 69 Salem St.
