First Trailer for Gangster Squad

A new trailer for the film Gangster Squad has been released by the studio (below).

The film is adapted from the yet-to-be-published book by Paul Lieberman of the same title (Gangster Squad, St. Martin's Press October 2012 hardcover). Lieberman's book tells the story of two cops, O'Mara and Wooters, both of whom became obsessed with the Squad's priority target, the showboating Mickey Cohen. One set a trap for Mickey using his own guns, while the other formed an alliance with Mickey's fearless rival, Jack "The Enforcer" Whalen. Both of their crusades then came to a head on the same night in the last days of the 1950s.

Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the film stars Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling as cops John O'Mara and Ryan Gosling, with Sean Penn as Mickey Cohen. A release date has not yet been announced.
