Weinsteins Add Company Men to Slate

Mike Fleming reports that The Weinstein Company has picked up rights to the John Wells downsizing drama The Company Men, starring Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, and Kevin Costner. It'll join a TWC slate for the year that so far boasts The Concert (July 16), The Tillman Story (August 20), Nowhere Boy (October 8), The King's Speech (November 26), and Blue Valentine (December 31). Sorry, longtime TWC also-rans Hoodwinked 2 and Shanghai! Hope that shelf you're sitting on is mighty comfortable. [Deadline]
