First Look at Josh Brolin and Sean Penn in Gangster Squad
Entertainment Weekly has revealed a first look at Josh Brolin and Sean Penn in the star-studded crime movie from Ruben Fleischer, Gangster Squad...
As well as these two fabulous actors, the film features Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Anthony Mackie, Nick Nolte, Michael Pena and Giovanni Ribisi, with Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, 30 Minutes or Less) directing.
It’s certainly bigger in size and scale than the director
has tackled before, and it’s been a while since we’ve had a truly brilliant ‘40s period piece from anyone other than Michael Mann or Martin Scorsese.
The film is based on a series of L.A. Times articles picked up by Warner Bros, who then hired Will Beall to adapt them into a film-shaped narrative. The articles focused on a L.A.P.D. unit whose job it was to fight the growing influence of the East Coast Mafia.
Infamous gangster Mickey Cohen was a huge element of the opposing side, and will be portrayed by Sean Penn in Gangster Squad. Gosling and Brolin are the two cops who are after him.
