DirectorShane Blackspoke toPeople, where he had this to say about his R-rated comedy.
“It is an R-rated film and it’s a caper. It’s a little fast, a little funny and a little rough in places, kind of coarse. These guys are working-class dudes, they’re not really sophisticated private detectives, so it’s a chance to do the kind of thriller I don’t see too much of anymore.”
BothRussell CroweandRyan Goslingare no stranger to Los Angeles period pieces.Russell Croweplayed a 1950s L.A.P.D. cop in the 1998 classicL.A. Confidential, whileRyan Goslingplayed a 1940s L.A. police officer in 2013’sGangster Squad. Take a look at the new trailer, poster and photo below forThe Nice Guys.
