Ben Affleck Confirms Live By Night as His Next Feature

[Guts]

It's like Ben Affleck just got done watching Boardwalk Empire...

Soldier comes back from war and becomes a gangster.

Spoiler

All he needs now is a guy with half of a face to be his partner in crime.

One of the Glenister brothers playing an Irish mobster.

Soldier comes back from war and becomes a gangster.

Peaky Blinders as well.

We had a conscripted military so many gangsters were former soldiers in the first half of the 20th century.

Robert Richardson --that's the guy who won three Oscars for Best Cinematography (JFK, Hugo, and the Aviator). When I watched that trailer, the cinematography stood out to me and I suspected that it was by one of the top guy in the business.

Yep, no wonder. Cinematography is amazing indeed.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I've read the book. It's very good and I can definitely see why Affleck wanted to direct this. If he does his job right, it can be even better than the book.

 

[Loki882]

He seems to be a big Dennis Lehane fan. Also between this and The Neon Demon, Elle Fanning looks amazing.

 

[Whatupman]

Hot damn, the movie looks fantastic!

Looks fantastic.

Both Boston boys and the bulk of Lehane's books are set where Affleck grew up.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Boring teaser in my opinion.

Fanning wasn't a standout in TND (not her fault, other actresses had better written roles) but apparently she plays very interesting character here

 

[Loki882]

I was talking visually/the way that she carries herself.

This looks good, but I feel the same way about it that I did about Argo and The Town - I'd be more interested if Affleck cast a better actor than himself as the lead. I just don't completely buy most of his performances, even in his own films. Gone Baby Gone remains my favorite film of his because of this.

i know i hope he casts a good actor for batman in the solo film

 

[flickchick85]

Batman's one of the few recent roles he's played that I thought he fit really well.

 

[BlackFox]

A 1930's version of The Town, count me in!!!

 

[OutOfBoose]

I also always said he isn't a really good actor. But his angry and bitter Batman is spot on. Sometimes you just fit the role like a glove and you don't have to play it much.

 

[Loki882]

I've seen far too many roles of his that I've enjoyed to call him a bad actor. Yes, including those two other directorial efforts of his. So I have no problems with his casting here, nor do I think that he looks "out of place."

Zoe Saldana's role in this also intrigues me, I wonder what her character's deal is?

Cool.

 

[Vaibow]

Looks beautiful, but it didn't want me to go see it... if that makes sense.

 

[Hurm...]

I'm still not too sure what the plot is based on the trailers. Affleck does not interest me too much as a director or actor.

 

[Auteur]

Robert Richardson's magical touch. Looks stunning.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The look of the film is fantastic and the action looks great as well, but Affleck looks miscast.
