First Trailer For ‘Gangster Squad’ Released

The year of the ensemble film continues this a new film starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn, Nick Nolte and Josh Brolin. We’ve been hearing about Gangster Squad for a while now, but this is the first real look that we’ve had at it. I’ve got to say, from what we are seeing so far, this movie is looking very impressive!

Official Synopsis:
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and–if he has his way–every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop…except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart. “Gangster Squad” is a colorful retelling of events surrounding the LAPD’s efforts to take back their nascent city from one of the most dangerous mafia bosses of all time.
