The UK branch of Warner Brothers has revealed that it is planning to release on Blu-ray director Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad (2012), starring Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Nick Nolte, and Emma Stone. The preliminary release date set by the studio is May 20th.
Crime drama set in the 1940s and '50s in Los Angeles inspired by the real life story of vicious mob boss Mickey Cohen and the LAPD officers who tried to bring him down. After moving to LA from the East Coast, Cohen (Penn) has taken control of the town. A force to be reckoned with, he not only has his gang to do his bidding but a number of policemen and politicians are also under his command. Police Chief Bill Parker (Nolte) instructs Sergeant John O'Mara (Brolin) to wage war against Cohen and his men. With only a small squad which includes his colleague, Jerry Wooters (Gosling), O'Mara attempts to regain control of the city. Meanwhile, Wooters gets involved with the mobster's girlfriend, Grace Faraday (Stone), which, if discovered, will only serve to enrage Cohen further.
