Ben Affleck's movie project "Live By Night" has suffered a set back due to obligations with the "Batman vs. Superman" production.
Affleck is set to star and direct the film adaption of on Dennis Lehane's novel, "Live By Night." The crime fiction novel set in the Prohibition era. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. announced the film's release date would be moved from Dec. 25, 2015, to Oct. 7, 2016.
"Insiders say the studio and Affleck knew they'd have to delay Live by Night when Zack Snyder's Batman-Superman tentpole was moved back a year, from summer 2015 to May 6, 2016. Affleck plays Batman in the superhero movie, which is set to start shooting soon in Detroit," THR reports.
In other "Batman vs. Superman" related news, director Zack Snyder recently discussed with Forbes about the camera tests of Affleck's new Batsuit for the film.
"The thing also that's really fascinating for me is that, even just in the tests we've been doing, the costumes, right? You basically have Batman and Superman - and this is without Ben [Affleck] and Henry [Cavill] in the costumes, but just like the stand-ins, just testing to see what the costumes look like," Snyder told Forbes. "And you have them standing there and they're standing in the same shot - and then we have Wonder Woman, you know, all three of them in the same shot. Even just for a test, you really have to go, 'Wow, that's crazy!'"
"Not only is it the first time that I'm seeing them, it's the first time they've ever existed together on screen in a movie," he continued. "And that's kind of a huge deal. Even just Batman and Superman standing next to each other... [I]t's kind of epic. You do sort of sense the weight of the pop culture iconography jumping out of its skin when you're standing there looking at the two of them and Wonder Woman. It's crazy. But it's fun. I mean, I have the first photo, I've got it in my archive because I was like, 'Okay, I better keep this, it's gonna be worth something."
"Batman vs. Superman" is slated to hit theaters on May 6, 2016.
