Gangster Squad Trailer: "Off The Books"

The first theatrical trailer for Ruben Fleischer's period police saga "The Gangster Squad" is here...

Based on a series of LA Times articles, the true story tale follows a secret "off the record" police task force in the 1940 who pursued high-profile gangster Mickey Cohen a member of the so-called Jewish Mob

Will Beall, a former LAPD officer who patrolled South Central and wrote the novel L.A. Rex penned the script.

Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling Michael Peña Josh Brolin Holt McCallany Giovanni Ribisi Robert Patrick and Anthony Mackie also star. Emma Stone plays a woman caught between Gosling's good cop character and Penn's character. Mireille Enos, star of the hit TV series The Killing co stars as Brolin's wife. Nick Nolte is Brolin's boss

Dan Lin and Kevin McCormick are producing the film. The pic has no release date as yet...The footage looks dandy with Gosling and Stone selling it for me...
