Our friends from Upbeat went along to the UK Premiere of The Town last night and got to speak with actor / director, Ben Affleck and his co-star, Rebecca Hall for the movie.
Our review of The Town went up earlier along with a Q&A that Em attended a couple of days ago with Affleck and Hall which is definitely worth a listen.
Synopsis: Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves in stealing what they want and getting out clean. With no real attachments, Doug never has to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang’s latest job, when they briefly took a hostage–bank manager, Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall). Though they let her go unharmed, Claire is nervously aware that the robbers know her name… and where she lives. But she lets her guard down when she meets an unassuming and rather charming man named Doug….not realizing that he is the same man who only days earlier had terrorized her. The instant attraction between them gradually turns into a passionate romance that threatens to take them both down a dangerous, and potentially deadly, path.
The Town also stars Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, Pete Postlethwaite, Chris Cooper. It’s set for release in the UK this Friday, 24th September.
