Ben Affleck's blue-collar heist flick "The Town" is slotted to film all day Friday, Nov. 6
at the old-school watering hole known as "Old Sully's" located at on Union Street near
the Community College Station Orange Line T stop, according to a tipster.
Known for its wood-paneled backroom, the nondescript pub is a colorful haunt from
Charlestown's past with roots going back to the speakeasy days of Prohibition. Crews
are slotted to film inside as well as two exterior shots at night.
On Tuesday, Nov. 3, crews filmed some strip club scenes at Centerfolds/The Glass
Slipper located at 22 LaGrange Street.
Affleck, playing Boston's most wanted bank robber, is both directing and starring in
the film following a love triangle involving a crook, a bankteller and a FBI agent. The
movie is an adaptation of the Charlestown-based heist novel "Prince of Thieves" by
Chuck Hogan which was written for the big screen by Peter Craig and Affleck.
"The Town" also stars Jon Hamm, known as Don Draper from "Mad Men," as a FBI
agent who becomes smitten with a female bank employee, played by "Frost/Nixon"
and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" actress Rebecca Hall.
Blake Lively, known as Serena van der Woodsen from "Gossip Girl," is playing Affleck's
troubled ex-girlfriend. Jeremy Renner, winning over critics with his role in "The Hurt
Locker," stars as Lively's brother and Affleck's partner in crime.
