Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones are set to play in a movie called "The Company Men" that is about the effect that downsizing in companies has on people.  Basically a movie about the recession and economy crisis.......................I wonder how many millions they will all get paid to play people losing their jobs.

It's hard to judge without knowing the story but is it really the good time to make a movie about this ?  Can't they wait until it's behind us ?

I think it's the right time to make it. I assume it's satirical, so it makes sense to do it now and strike while the irons hot. It may make people angry, but not at the film, more at the situation. Looks good.

EDIT: Empire are talking about it here. Sounds more of a drama that satire. Maybe a Wall Street for this generation?
