Live by Night

Live by Night is Warner Bros’ crime thriller written, directed by, and starring Oscar winner Ben Affleck, based on the best-seller by Dennis Lehane. Marking the Boston natives’ second collaboration after Gone Baby Gone, the film is set in the roaring ’20s, when Prohibition hasn’t stopped the flow of booze in gangster-run speakeasies. Joe Coughlin, son of the Boston Police Superintendent, crosses a powerful mob boss and is propelled up the ladder of Tampa’s steamy rum-running underworld. Produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson under Appian Way and by Affleck and Jennifer Todd for Pearl Street Films, the film stars Elle Fanning, Chris Messina, Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana, and Chris Cooper, with cinematography by Robert Richardson and a score by Harry Gregson-Williams. It was released on January 13, 2017.
