Warner Bros. announces four new films for 2017 including Ben Affleck’s Live By Night

March 23, 2016 by Scott J. Davis

Warner Bros. Pictures has announced some of its upcoming slate for 2017, with four new films added to the studio’s eclectic line-up for next year.

Firstly, the studio has given upcoming Dennis Lehane adaptation Live By Night a prime Oscar spot with a release date set for October 20th. The film sees Ben Affleck in the directorial chair for the fourth time (as well as star) and tells the story of a “petty Boston thief who rises to become the Gulf Coast’s most successful rum runner.”

Live By Night will open alongside an untitled Universal/Blumhouse film. Zoe Saldana, Sienna Miller, Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson and Chris Cooper co-star with Affleck in the film.

Next, Ice Cube comedy Fist Fight has been scheduled for February 17th, something of a prime comedy location after both Cube’s Ride Along films performed well in similar slots. The film follows a school teacher (Charlie Day, Horrible Bosses), who after getting the other fired (Cube), is challenged to an after-school fight. Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) and Tracey Morgan (30 Rock) co-star but will have its work cut-out for it, as its currently going up against Matt Damon-starrer The Great Wall, 20th Century Fox’s Maze Runner: The Death Cure (though this one may move after star Dylan O’Brien’s injury on-set last week); and perhaps biggest of all, the long-awaited adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, starring Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba.

And for you horror fans, Annabelle 2 is coming to 2017, with the sequel set for releases on May 19th, putting it in direct competition with the big-screen version of hit 1990’s TV show Baywatch, which stars Dwayne Johnson (Fast & Furious 7), Zac Efron (Dirty Grandpa) and Alexandra Daddario (San Andreas).

Warners has also booked a slot on August 11th for an unknown film.
