All Work and No Play For Ben Affleck On Set In Boston
If you were in Boston over the weekend, you may have thought someone got hijacked on the Charlestown Bridge, but it was actually just Ben Affleck causing all of the commotion. Ben is back in his hometown directing and starring in The Town, about a bank robber being chased by the FBI. The movie, which also features a Gossip Girl (Blake Lively) and a Mad Man (Jon Hamm), has been filming at at various locations, including Fenway Park and Copley Square, around the city for the past month or so.
The latest scene filmed on the Charlestown Bridge involved police vehicles chasing burglars (in creepy habits and masks) and was all filmed from a helicopter above. The scene is sure to look cool in the movie, but it had traffic backed up all weekend as they closed the bridge completely so Ben could get his shot.
Ben's girls are also in town, keeping busy with fun fall activities while dad is busy working. Last week, Jen brought their daughters Violet and Seraphina to the Honey Pot Hill Orchard in Stow, MA. The orchard is a favorite local hang out for kids this time of year. They can pick their own apples, take a hayride, pet animals in the petting zoo, and eat delicious treats like candy apples and cider donuts. The orchard is open until 5 pm daily.
Tomorrow, its back to work for Ben who will be filming at New Spin Laundry, 100 Salem Street, which will be transformed into a bank for the shoot.
