The press reported that friends of childhood, colleagues Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, will work on a new project. They planned to produce a TV series, which will appear on the air of Showtime. The title of the film is "City on a Hill". It will deal with the criminal world of Boston in the 90's - a favorite period for the creative self-realization of Affleck.
What is interesting about this location and why this time? The fact is that at the end of the twentieth century the capital of the state of Massachusetts was not the most peaceful place. Criminal clans divided spheres of influence, and the police preferred to just close their eyes to all this.
The matter takes a completely different turn when a black prosecutor comes to the heart of New England, who previously served in Brooklyn. He will work with some veteran FBI, a tough man, corrupt, but respected in certain circles. This strange duet will bring order to the city.
Interesting details
In the center of the plot is a known operation that destroyed the criminal hierarchy of Boston. In history, it is recorded as a "Boston miracle." Director Gavin O'Connor plans to tell the truth about those events using fictional characters.
Mr. O'Connor has already spoken about the upcoming work on the film. According to him in the "City on the Hill" will be everything that distinguishes a quality criminal thriller: a lot of blood, betrayal, trampled honor and family secrets. What are not you Shakespeare's passions?
