Three's "Company" For KC

A new project at last!

Variety reports that Kevin Costner will co-star with Ben Affleck and Tommy Lee Jones in the independent "Company Men":

KC has worked with Jones before, of course, in "JFK." He sort of worked with Affleck in the Fenway Park scene in "Field of Dreams." (Affleck and buddy Matt Damon were crowd extras in the scene in which Ray Kinsella sees Moonlight Graham's stats.)

John Wells has a prolific career in movies and television; he executive-produced my all-time favorite drama series, "The West Wing," along with the soon-to-retire "ER."

I've been hoping that KC would work on a film project relevant to current times; a film about the results of downsizing certainly qualifies.

The article also mentions "The One," a project KC has in mind with Michael Blake. The mention of pirates throws things up in the air for me; is it pirates like those off the coast of Somalia, or pirates like "Pirates of the Caribbean?"

In any case, KC has worked twice before with Blake, of course: On "Stacy's Knights" and a small indie project called "Dances With Wolves." :)
