The Town News

Already starring Jon Hamm and Ben Affleck, it didn't seem possible for the cast of The Town to grow more attractive.

But it has!

Blake Lively (best known as Serena Van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl) has joined the ensemble cast of the crime thriller.

Chris Cooper is also in negotiations to appear in the film, which follows a bank manager; the thief who stole her heart (and more!); and the FBI agent attempting to bust the crook and his crew.

Based in Boston and starring an Emmy winner, Ben Affleck has found his directorial project.

The Gone Baby Gone director will helm, and star in, The Town. The film will feature Affleck, as a bank robber, along with Jon Hamm. The Mad Men star will portray an FBI agent.

Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona) is also on board. She'll take on the role of a bank teller that both Hamm and Affleck's characters fall for.

The Town focuses on a professional thief that develops feelings for the female teller at the bank he attempts to heist, and the FBI agent who is obsessed with nabbing him and his crew.
