WAKEFIELD, MA — "The Tender Bar" trailer dropped Thursday, and while the internet is focused on a sage Ben Affleck dispensing life lessons, Massachusetts residents are seeing what local nuggets they can eyeball. The Amazon Prime Video picture is directed by George Clooney and stars Affleck, Lily Rabe, Tye Sheridan and Christopher Lloyd. It's an adaption of the J.R. Moehringer memoir of the same name. The film is set in New York, but was largely filmed in the Boston area, including Beverly, Wakefield and Watertown. The local flavor is all over the trailer. That's the Wakefield Bowladrome you see those pins dropping in. The fictional bar "The Dickens" is actually in Beverly, not Long Island. "The Tender Bar" will have a limited release Dec. 17 and be released on Amazon Prime Video Jan. 17. Mike Carraggi can be reached at [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter @PatchCarraggi.
