LOS ANGELES (TheWrap) – Giovanni Ribisi will join Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin in "The Gangster Squad," a police drama set in Los Angeles during the 1940s.
The Warner Bros. project is based on a series of Los Angeles Time articles recounting efforts by local law enforcement to keep East Coast gangsters out of the city. "Avatar" veteran Ribisi will play a police officer.
Ruben Fleischer ("Zombieland") is directing from an adaptation by "L.A. Rex" author Will Beall. Deadline first reported the news.
