Ben Affleck has zeroed in to take on another project where he plans on writing, directing and starring in the film adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s Prohibition Era novel Live By Night.
‘Live By Night’ is a story set in Boston about Joe Coughlin, who rebels against his cop father and becomes a career criminal,and eventually joins a mob. The studio picked up rights back in spring to produce this movie while it was still in its gallery form, but just last week the book was published by William Morrow.
No word yet if this will be Affleck’s next movie as is he is currently working to direct an adaptation of The Stand as well as an English-language remake of the French thriller Tell No One.
