Ruben Fleischer is directing Warner Bros. backed film 'Gangster Squad'. This was annoced at the end of last month, and at this same time Warner Bros. started negotiations for Sean Penn to play the lead role in this film but after going back and forth a half a dozen times and at one point actually backing out of the movie.
But then the negotiations started up again soon after he walked away from it, then Warner Bros. then offered which both parties agreed to, so now he's locked in to play the lead role of Mickey Cohen who is a gangster. Also Ryan Gosling is also locked in to play part of the LAPD cops that were formed to crack down on Cohan and other criminals that were infiltrating 1940's LA.
This film 'Gangster Squad' is based on Paul Lieberman's articals that were in the LA Times that tracked the local police's attempts to crack down on the city's rising crime and corruption. This 'Gangster Squad' was reportedly an elite group of police that were highly charged and ready to break a few skulls.
Now, Warner Bros. along with the director Fleischer want Josh Brolin to be in the movie, but there's no news on what role in the film he will have as he is currently shooting the new 'Men In Black III' for Sony.
This film will be released through Lin Pictures and Langley Park, this is Dan Lin and Kevin McCormack's production companies. The script for this film will be written by Will Beall
