The corporate downsizing film written by John Wells already starring Kevin Costner, Ben Affleck and Tommy Lee Jones now has Craig T. Nelson and Maria Bello to star in the drama as well.

“…independently financed drama that John Wells wrote and is directing. The pic is getting under way in Boston...Bello will play the veep of human resources, who is forced to fire the character played by Affleck. Nelson plays the CEO of the global conglomerate. [Variety]“

The film revolves around a corporate hotshot (Affleck) whose Porsche and six-figure salary vanish after he gets laid off. Costner plays his brother-in-law, a salt-of-the-earth drywall installer who gives him a construction job. Tommy Lee Jones will play a senior partner in the firm, a principled man who struggles with the greedy actions of his partners. As someone who dealt with corporate downsizing personally this is a film I very interested to see. Affleck has certainly matured as an actor and with the rest of the cast being a good group of veterans surrounding him I think it will be a good current event story.
