New Images Of Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone On The Set Of ‘The Gangster Squad’

A number of images have emerged online from the set of Ruben Fleischer’s (30 Minutes or Less, Zombieland) highly-anticipated crime drama ‘The Gangster Squad,’ featuring both Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, who recently worked together on ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love.’ The film features a phenominal cast in Gosling, Stone. Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Anthony Mackie, Robert Patrick, Michael Pena, Mireille Enos, Giovanni Ribisi and Nick Nolte.

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 ruthless Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn), who runs the show in Los Angeles, 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. Cohen 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. Emma Stone’s character, Jean, has been described as a sharp-tongued siren who becomes caught in a love triangle with Gosling and Penn’s character.

Screenwriter Will Beall is a former South Central Los Angeles cop who wrote the novel ‘L.A. Rex.’ Shooting entirely in and around Los Angeles, including in many of the actual locations featured in the story, ‘The Gangster Squad’ is described as “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.” Source: Daily Mail.
