MUMBAI: Warner Bros is all set to release Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Sean Penn-starrer Gangster Squad on 11 January.

Directed by Ruben Fleischer, Gangster Squad is a stylish 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. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean 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 he has under his thumb. 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 Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen‘s world apart.

The screenplay was written by Will Beall, based on the book Gangster Squad by Paul Lieberman. The film is produced by Dan Lin, Kevin McCormick and Michael Tadross. The executive producers are Ruben Fleischer, Paul Lieberman and Bruce Berman.

The film stars Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling and Academy Award winner Sean Penn. It also stars Oscar nominee Nick Nolte, Emma Stone, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Pe?a, Robert Patrick and Mireille Enos.

The film is being distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.
