Warner Bros. Pictures has announced that crime-thriller The Gangster Squad will be released on October 19, 2012.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, 30 Minutes or Less), The Gangster Squad stars Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Emma Stone, Robert Patrick, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi and Anthony Mackie.
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (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 (Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.
The Gangster Squad will open against Hotel Transylvania, Madagascar 3 and The Big Wedding.
