"Live by Night" casting news keeps coming although the movie has already kicked off production in Georgia. The latest addition to Ben Affleck's next directorial project is the hunky Scott Eastwood. According to The Wrap, the son of Clint Eastwood is cast to play the on-screen brother to Affleck's character.

Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, "Live by Night" follows Joe, a man who turned his back on his strict and proper upbringing and becomes an outlaw. He embarks on a dizzying journey up the ladder of organized crime that takes him from the flash of Jazz Age Boston to the sensual shimmer of Tampa's Latin Quarter to the sizzling streets of Cuba.

The film is also supported by Zoe Saldana, Sienna Miller, Elle Fanning, and Chris Cooper. Marking Affleck's directorial flick after his Oscar-winning "Argo" in 2012, it is eying a 2017 release.
