Ben Affleck filming Company Men on the Common

After shooting wrapped at Federal Street, I got word that they were filming more scenes on the Common (thanks Amanda). By that time it was raining out and all of the equipment was covered with tents. Then I looked out to the Common to see Ben Affleck playing football in a suit and tie while a steady-cam operator circled around him. I'm not sure if they were actually filming a football scene or if they were just waiting for the rain to stop.



The feeling on this set was much more relaxed than the last one, mainly because there weren't hundreds of extras running around. We were able to get much closer without production assistants yelling at us. As previously mentioned the movie is about three men trying to survive corporate downsizing at a major company and how it affects them, their families, and their communities.

According to the Boston Herald, while Ben was shooting his wife, Jennifer Garner, took her kids and her nanny to eat at the Four Seasons.
