Gangster Squad

This was another trailer that played in front of Dark Shadows that had me very interested.  Based on the book "Tales from the Gangster Squad" by Paul Lieberman, Gangster Squad is a period crime drama that takes place in the late 40s about crime boss Mickey Cohen.  Ruben Fleischer, who has directed the silly 30 Minutes Or Less in addition to the fantastic Zombieland (and it's eventual sequel), here directs an amazing cast of actors:  Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Robert Patrick, Mireille Enos, Michael Peña, Nick Nolte and of course Sean Penn as crime boss Mickey Cohen.

Gangster Squad is tentatively scheduled for release on October 19.  Looking forward to it as well.
