Take a look at Ben Affleck’s latest with the Live by Night trailer

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official Live by Night trailer and, in the player below, you can take a look at the upcoming film from director Ben Affleck. The studio has also released a stylish poster for the film, which you can see in the gallery viewer at the bottom of this page.

An adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s 2012 prohibition era thriller, Ben Affleck also stars alongside Elle Fanning (Maleficent), Brendan Gleeson (In the Heart of the Sea, the Harry Potter films), Chris Messina (Argo, The Mindy Project), Sienna Miller (American Sniper, Foxcatcher), Zoe Saldana (Guardians of the Galaxy, Avatar), and Oscar winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation, The Town).

Live by Night is set in the roaring ’20s when Prohibition hasn’t stopped the flow of booze in an underground network of gangster-run speakeasies. The opportunity to gain power and money is there for any man with enough ambition and nerve and Joe Coughlin, the son of the Boston Police Superintendent, long ago turned his back on his strict upbringing for the spoils of being an outlaw. But even among criminals there are rules and Joe breaks a big one: crossing a powerful mob boss by stealing his money and his moll. The fiery affair ends in tragedy, setting Joe on a path of revenge, ambition, romance and betrayal that propels him out of Boston and up the ladder of Tampa’s steamy rum-running underworld.

Live by Night is produced by Leonardo DiCaprio (The Wolf of Wall Street, Out of the Furnace) and Jennifer Davisson (The Ides of March, Orphan), under the Appian Way banner; and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Todd (Alice in Wonderland, Across the Universe) for Pearl Street Films. Chris Brigham, Dennis Lehane and Chay Carter are serving as executive producers.

Live by Night opens in theaters on January 13, 2017.
