Hall And Hamm Join Affleck In Big Screen 'The Town'

Variety reports that Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall will star with Ben Affleck in "The Town," the Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures adaptation of the Chuck Hogan novel.

"The Town" follows the relationships between a bank manager played by Hall, a career criminal who is portrayed by Affleck, and a dedicated FBI agent acted by Hamm. 

Rebecca Hall most recently starred in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, opposite Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem and Patricia Clarkson.

Hall received wide acclaim for her performance as Rosalind, Shakespeare's love conflicted heroine in Peter Hall's production of As You Like It, which began at the Theatre Royal Bath in 2003 and continued with an international tour. It was revived in 2005 at the Rose Theatre in Kingston and subsequently ran at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music, Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre and the Curran Theatre in San Francisco. In summer 2004, she starred in three productions at the Theatre Royal Bath: as the title role in Timberlake Wertenbaker's Galileo's Daughter, directed by Peter Hall; Elvira in Simon Nye's version of the Molire comedy Don Juan, directed by Thea Sharrock: and as Ann Whitfield in Shaw's epic Man and Superman, again under the direction of Peter Hall.
