Warner Bros was initially planning to release "Gangster Squad" in September. But after the Colorado massacre, the studio decided to undertake massive re-shoots in order to remove a pivotal scene which shows audience members being gunned down in a movie theater.
The release date was pushed back until January 11th, 2013, a terrible time for movies, despite the fact that "Gangster Squad" has a cast comprised of Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Robert Patrick, Michael Pena, Giovanni Ribisi, Anthony Mackie, and Emma Stone.
And now that we're approaching the release date, Warner Bros has unveiled a brand new trailer. Check it out below.
Sean Pen and Ryan Gosling = angsty, mopey faced bitches. Sorry, I just can’t take either one of them. Both reek of douchebaggery. Gosling’s face and voice in particular just pisses me off for some reason, and the last Penn performance I liked was Jeff Spicoli.
Also, Emma Stone just doesn’t cut it for me as the sultry noir sex bomb. I can think of a number of other actresses in their 20s better suited for the part. Stone is just too contemporary and too wacky comedic.
On the other hand, Josh Brolin and Nick Nolte = genuine, badass leading men. Here’s hoping they (along with Robert 'T-100' Patrick) are enough to save what looks like a watchable action romp.

So they waste the money to reshoot but tell everyone what the original scene was? Makes alot of sense. Just like broadcasting plans against terrorists and they're watching. f*cking dumbasses
Cops always there to save the day from the evil gangsters. Blah.
Next.

I love LA old school gangster/crime dramas. The cops are always as crooked and brutal as the gangsters. This looks like a nice mix of LA Confidential and Mulholland Falls with a little Untouchables sprinkled on top. I'll see it for sure.

Solid trailer, better than the ones I've seen.
But that rap sh!t really f*cks it up. I know they wanna make it look cool, but they could've used some really suspenseful score to it. It also messes with it's grittiness/ realism.
The last good one I saw for thos genre/ time period was LA CONFIDENTIAL...that's the bar they have to reach or surpass.

You could just watch Mobsters and Hoodlum instead.

Somewhere Hulk Hogan is rocking back n' forth in the feeble position crying: 'How come Nick Nolte can get work?!'
And no, 'feeble' isn't a typo.

This looks pretty sweet. I do like Goslin but I'm starting to wonder if I overestimated his range as an actor. Need to see a bit more variation. Sean Penn just loves shouting, he's like dramas answer to Will Ferell. The exterior shots of LA look sexy as f*ck as does Emma Stone the real life Jessica Rabbit.
Bad timing with the cinema shooting this could have been a good end to a just about satisfying year of movies.

Sounds all very gothic.
I hope some rose after the shooting.

Nah. They cut a great scene to avoid getting sued, and as I don't support spineless cowards, I'll wait till I download it.
