Warner Bros have released the first trailer for Ben Affleck‘s Live By Night.
Based on Dennis Lehane’s bestselling novel, Live By Night is a mob drama set in prohibition era Boston, and the fourth movie with Affleck in the director’s chair.
Affleck directs and stars as Joe Coughlan, the son of a Boston police superintendent who turns his back on his upbringing and climbs the ladder of organised crime. With Brendan Gleeson playing Coughlan’s father, Thomas, Live By Night also stars Zoe Saldana, Chris Cooper, Elle Fanning and Sienna Miller.
With both this and Gavin O’Connor’s The Accountant (due for release on 4th November) in the can, it’s nice to know that Affleck hasn’t disappeared completely down the DC rabbit hole.
Live By Night is released on 13th January 2017.
