Giovanni Ribisi Joins Sean Penn & Ryan Gosling In ‘Gangster Squad’
Deadline bring word that Giovanni Ribisi has landed a co-starring role in ‘Zombieland’ director Ruben Fleischer’s upcoming period crime drama ‘Gangster Squad.’ He would star opposite an already top-notch cast in Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Anthony Mackie, Michael Pena and possibly Bryan Cranston who’s in talks. Ribisi will play Conway Keeler, a cop in the group who is a master of electronics and wires.
The drama, based on a series of articles by Paul Lieberman, is the fact-based tale of the crime fighting exploits of a squad of elite Los Angeles officers in the 1940s charged with stopping vicious Los Angeles mobster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) and other mobsters. Screenwriter Will Beall is a former South Central Los Angeles cop who wrote the novel L.A. Rex. I’m an absolute sucker for crime dramas, especially mobster flicks. With the names attached and source material I’ve got ridiculously high hopes for this project!
