Following a well-received turn in last year’s acclaimed drama “Foxcatcher,” Anthony Michael Hall has joined the cast of Ben Affleck‘s “Live By Night,” TheWrap has learned.
Hall will play a Southern bootlegger who tangles with Affleck’s Joe Coughlin, the son of a prominent police captain who enters a world of organized crime that takes him from Boston to Florida and Havana, Cuba.
The Warner Bros. release is an adaptation of Dennis Lehane‘s novel of the same name. The studio previously recruited Hall for Christopher Nolan‘s “The Dark Knight,” and he’ll be working with the studio’s new Batman this time around.
