The movie is an “independently financed drama” called ‘Company Men’, about the impact that a corporate downsizing has on both its casualties and survivors. Kevin Costner will be joining Tommy Lee Jones and Ben Affleck. It was written by and will be directed by John Wells. Production begins in April in Boston. Wells, Claire Rudnick Polstein and Paula Weinstein are producing. Barbara Hall exec producer. Affleck plays a corporate hotshot 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. Jones plays a senior partner in the firm, a principled man who struggles with the greedy actions of his partners.

Costner is also working to set up "The One," a film he will direct from a script he penned with “Dances With Wolves” writer Michael Blake, based on an idea by Blake. Costner will star as a free-spirited man who inherits $3 billion, leading him on an adventure and an eventual collision with pirates in the Cayman Islands.
