Rex Features

Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones have joined the cast of Ben Affleck's financial drama The Company Man, says Variety.

The movie centres on a corporate high-flyer (Affleck) who becomes a victim of recession. Losing his six-figure salary, Affleck's character goes to work for his brother-in-law (Costner) on a construction job.

Jones will portray a senior corporate partner who objects to the greed shown by his colleagues.

ER creator John Wells is making his feature directorial debut on the project, working from his own screenplay.
