Ben Affleck is a Company Man

Actor Ben Affleck, who is also expecting his second child, is in talks to star in The Company Man, a drama about a man whose life is deeply affected by financial downsizing. Given the recent problems affecting Wall Street and the country's financial sector, the film's plot is extremely relevant. John Wells will direct the film, which will be his feature debut. He will also produce through his eponymous John Wells shingle and is writing the screenplay.

The film will revolve around a man who gets laid off and subsequently has to deal with the financial consequences at home. The script will also feature a second male lead.
