Ruben Fleischer is going gangster. The Zombieland director will helm Warner Bros’ period cop movie
Gangster Squad, pending working out where to fit a sequel to Columbia’s hit zombie movie.
Gangster is based on a seven-part Los Angeles Times article written by Paul Lieberman centered on how in the 1940s, amid corruption and chaos, the LAPD created a unit called the
Gangster Squad to keep the East Coast mafia out of the city.
