Ben Affleck looked dapper in his period costuming on the set of Live By Night in Long Beach, Calif., Monday.

Ben Affleck On Set

Affleck was outfitted for the day on set in a pair of tan trousers held up by a pair of brown patterned suspenders. He also had on a white shirt that was unbuttoned at the neck with a loosened tie. In between scenes, Affleck, whose hair was suavely coiffed to the side, sipped on an anachronistic cup of coffee.

Also on set Monday was Star Trek star Zoe Saldana. While she waited to shoot a scene, the actress covered up her ensemble with an oversized white button-down shirt.

Live By Night is Affleck’s Prohibition Era thriller for which he wrote the screenplay based on Dennis Lehane‘s novel. The Argo director is also helming the picture in which he’s starring in the lead role of Joe Coughlin. The film follows a group of characters who are involved in the world of organized crime in one way or another.

In addition to Affleck and Saldana, Live By Night stars Scott Eastwood, Sienna Miller, Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson, Anthony Michael Hall, Titus Welliver, Chris Messina and Chris Cooper.

Live By Night is slated to hit theaters sometime in 2017.
