Warner Bros. has unveiled the first trailer for The Town, Ben Affleck’s directorial follow-up to Gone Baby Gone. Equal parts heist thriller and romantic drama, this adaptation of the Chuck Hogan novel The Prince of Thieves stars Affleck, Rebecca Hall, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, and Blake Lively.

I think this movie looks absolutely amazing, and Jon Hamm is already getting Oscar buzz.

I also think Ben Affleck is extremely talented as a director. I saw Gone Baby Gone, and it was a good movie, but the ending was too disturbing for me, it ruined the whole movie.

Here’s the official 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.
