Lively Town

Gossip Girl beauty Blake Lively has joined the ensemble cast of Ben Affleck's upcoming crime pic "The Town" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on Chuck Hogan's novel "Prince of Thieves," the story follows a bank manager (Rebecca Hall), the career criminal (Affleck) who stole more than her heart and the dedicated Federal agent (Jon Hamm) trying to bust the crook and his gang that also has Jeremy Renner as a member.

Lively is playing Affleck's troubled ex-girlfriend and sister to Renner's character. Chris Cooper is in negotiating to play Affleck's father.

A big get for Lively--working for and opposite Big Ben...

Filming starts next month in Boston.
