"Live by Night" production showed a bloody Ben Affleck, Tuesday in Los Angeles, California. Affleck, who is both directing and starring in the movie, has been busy spending an awful lot of time on the set.
"He is the first to arrive in the morning, sometimes as early as 5 a.m., and the last to leave at night," a source told People.
"After every shot, even the ones he is not acting in, he has to go back to base camp and go through the screen monitor to make sure it is perfect," the person added.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" film also stars the 43-year actor, which will open in cinemas on March 23, 2016. Affleck told Variety about the movie in an interview last week, "It will be extremely disappointing [if the movie] doesn't do well. I think there is a ton of pressure on it. I mean I would be bulls--ting you to say there isn't."
Affleck also explained the culture among his production team, saying "We are a very kind of instant gratification culture when it comes to analyzing the film business. And there is a lot of hyperbole involved. Nonetheless, there's a lot of pressure on it."
Affleck's recent divorce from his former wife, Jennifer Garner, could affect the box office standing of the "Batman" movie, analysts say. One source told RadarOnline that the studio is freaking out over Affleck's personal life that is somehow overshadowing his character in the movie. Adding to the weight is the public's perception of him being the cheater with a house full of children.
Everybody seems to set their focus on the tremendous hits that the "Daredevil" actor's persona is taking. They are most especially freaking about the popularity plunge with the big movies that are coming up soon, especially "Batman v. Superman" and the "The Accountant."
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will premiere in cinemas on March 23, 2016.
