Before we see Ben Affleck don the iconic cowl as the Dark Knight, the actor-director will be blasting his way through Prohibition-era Florida in his latest, “Live By Night”.
Affleck is director and star of the period drama, in which he plays Joe Coughlin, the black-sheep son of a police captain whose involvement in organized crime in Boston hits a snag when he ticks off a mob boss, sending him on the run to Florida.

Once Joe hits Tampa, however, he dives right into the rum-running criminal underworld, which involves fiery shootouts, high-octane car chases, violent fistfights and sexy femme fatales, with Affleck co-starring with Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson, Chris Messina, Zoe Saldana, Sienna Miller, Chris Cooper and Scott Eastwood.
“Live By Night” won’t hit theatres until January 2017, but check out this first-look sneak peek:
