Warner Bros. Pictures has released nine new banners for Gangster Squad, the forthcoming period crime film starring Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling as two L.A.P.D. cops who form an elite task force aimed at taking down notorious gangster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn).
The film, directed by Ruben Fleischer also stars Nick Nolte, Robert Patrick, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi, Anthony Mackie, and Emma Stone, opens in theaters on January 11th, 2013.
Here's the synopsis for Gangster Squad:
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. “The 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.
