Crews for Ben Affleck's "The Company Men," the made-in-Boston film following
a year in the life of three men trying to survive a round of corporate
downsizing, filmed scenes with Harvard Alum Tommy Lee Jones at a private
residence on Crowninshield Road in Marblehead on Tuesday, May 26. The home,
with a stunning waterfront view, is the residence of Brian and Nancy McCarthy
of Kelly's Roast Beef fame.
"Everyone working seemed relaxed, smiling and enjoying the beautiful weather,"
reports Ryan Miner from Beantown Photo, on assignment for Loaded Gun
Boston. "The traffic was flowing nicely with no backups. Those who did show up
to try and maybe say 'hi,' get some pics, and meet the actors or get an
autograph didn’t stick around long because from the only viewpoint available
filming was about a quarter of a mile away."
However, Miner says it was a tight set. "Police were stationed at the bottom of
Crowninshield Road and only allowed local homeowners up the street. I heard
second hand they said to a woman that they will arrest anyone trying to walk
up the private road into the neighborhood."
Miner continues, "You can see a long mic boom so they may have been doing
some outside filming, but the camera kept passing from in front of the left hand
side of the house to around the corner, and into the area behind the light
screens."
Excluding the scene slotted with Affleck's golf club-wielding double at the
Gannon Municipal Golf Course in Lynn on Tuesday, June 2, "The Company Men"
production is ending later this week for the principal actors with a wrap party
slotted for Sunday, May 31.
