When there was announced that Warner Bros. wanted Sean Penn (Mystic River) and Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson) for the 1940's crime drama Tales From the Gangster Squad, I thought it would be only an attempt to generate some buzz around the movie (nothing special that could deserve a post here) but now things are getting serious! Penn and Gosling are only two of the best working actors in Hollywood and seeing them acting alongside each other would be just great, but now we also have Josh Brolin (Milk): what an amazing cast!
According to the reports, Penn is up to portray the legendary gangster Mickey Cohen, Gosling is set to play a cop who tries to bring Cohen to the justice and Brolin may be the Gosling's character working partner.
According to Variety's reports, all the three actors mentioned before are highly active in the negociations for the roles that were offered to them, with Penn really close to sign contract!
What a great acting showcase this movie can be if these three actors accept the roles! Plus, Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) is the director attached for this project! It seems to be so promising...

Such a little note: too much testosterone in a movie won't need a feminine figure around? Just wondering...
