Live By Night | Christmas Day limited release, wide release on 01/13/17 | Ben Affleck/Warner Bros. New trailer on page 8

[filmlover]

This got its MPAA rating last month so if the movie is already done then there really wasn't any point to holding it until October of next year.

[Ethan Hunt]

Yeah, good trailer

WB movies get their MPAA ratings quickly. UNCLE was rated by the MPAA a full 13 months before release, similar with Tarzan as well. If the movie is done filming, WB gets it a rating early.

Man from UNCLE was in the can long before its August release, likewise with Tarzan although I believe that had a long post production process, it was shot and wrapped in 2014.

I got a the Town depression era vibe from the trailer.  Which is fine by me

[bapi]

Looks great. Makes me want to play Mafia again.

This film seems more likely to get awards consideration than Collateral Beauty, so WB slating this for Jan and that for a prestige release doesn't make very much sense.

Confirmed the "January" release.

 

No Oscar material this time

Too early to call.

Also posters say 2017 so it's suspicious. Even if it isn't amazing surely production design, costumes, cinematography would have decent chances.

[acab]

Looks very good.

I hope it won't be another Gangster Squad since Affleck knows how to make a good crime drama.

I've started to hate myself whenever I think, "Wow, that shot looked really digital" so I'm full of self-loathing after that trailer.

I had the exact same thought . Not as bad as Public Enemies though. Just weird to see a 20's crime drama shot that way. Looks solid though.

[Kalo]

Wow, looks incredible, why is WB holding off till January for this? 

[RichWS]

Because if it's not an awards play, why put it in the middle of a hectic and competitive season?

[filmlover]

lol the cinematography in Public Enemies. So ugly.

[Joel M]

The trailer is kind of horrible. It's looks so "clean" and flat it feels like people playing dress up in today rather than really being set in the prohibition era. Argo had all those ridiculous wigs and facial hair but the movie looked like "real" 70s, the spell wasn't broken. 

 

I'll be dissapointed if it turns out to be a new Gangster Squad.

[Dementeleus]

Huh, the trailer didn't do much for me. 

[filmlover]

I will say though that this:

 

 

...looks like an outtake from Batman v Superman.
