Ben Affleck is getting back in the director’s chair … and this time he’s overseeing a beer commercial starring his good buddy Matt Damon and soccer star David Beckham.

TMZ obtained photos of Ben, Matt and David on the set of a production Tuesday at Griffin Club Los Angeles in Cheviot Hills … and our sources tell us it’s for a new Stella beer advertisement.

Matt and Dave appear to be in tennis gear … and it looks like they’re filming on a tennis court. The private, members-only club markets itself as a “premiere racquet, athletic, aquatic and social club.”

Ben’s directed movies in the past … including “Gone Baby Gone,” “The Town,” and “Argo” … and now it seems he’s trying his hand at commercials.

With a bunch of star power on set, we’re told the club was crawling with security … and it will be interesting to see what Ben, Matt and Dave have brewing here.
