Ben Affleck is in negotiations to star in John Wells’ upcoming drama “The Company Men,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Written by Wells, the film is set during a slowing economy and follows a man who struggles with his financial situation after losing his job.

That’s pretty much all we know about the project at this time. Wells previously wrote and directed several “ER” episodes. He also co-created television’s “Third Watch.”

Affleck recently boarded the big-screen version of Chuck Hogan’s novel “The Prince of Thieves,” which he will rewrite, direct and possibly star in.

The actor will next be seen in Ken Kwapis’ “He’s Just Not That Into You,” followed by Kevin Macdonald’s “State of Play” next year.
