I’ve reported off and on here for months about the likelihood of Ben Affleck filming much of his next film Live by Night here in Savannah.
Affleck will be producer, director, writer, and star of the adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s recent Edgar Award-winning novel.
Just a couple of weeks ago, Sande Alessi Casting — who worked with Affleck on Argo — said that they were already casting extras for filming in Savannah and Brunswick in early 2014.
Now they have backed off and are claiming a September 2014 start date:
A PR ploy by the casting agency to get more traffic to their new Facebook page? That strikes me as odd since a company that does something like that obviously runs the risk of ruining their relationship with Affleck.
