Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn in 'Gangster Squad' TV spots

Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Sean Penn feature in three newly-released TV spots for Gangster Squad.

The 1940s-set crime thriller stars Penn as infamous gangster Mickey Cohen, and Gosling as one of the LAPD outsiders assigned to a special task force with the aim of bringing him down.



"Los Angeles is mine," Cohen snarls in the first video, which also shows Gosling's character Sgt. Jerry Wooters approaching Emma Stone's glamorous Grace Faraday in a bar.

Josh Brolin, Nick Nolte, Anthony Mackie and Michael Peña also star in Gangster Squad, which is directed by Zombieland helmer Ruben Fleischer.

First-time feature screenwriter Will Beall wrote the script, having previously worked as a staff writer on television drama Castle.



Gangster Squad was originally set to be released in autumn 2012, but was postponed in order to allow for reshoots following the mass shooting at a cinema in Aurora, Colorado.

A scene in the film which showed mobsters opening fire on cinemagoers was pulled, and reshoots were completed in August after the script had been reworked.
