‘Gangster Squad’ Trailer: Ryan Gosling Just Wants To Take Emma Stone To Bed (VIDEO)

Gangster Squad Trailer

Crazy, stupid, love, indeed. “Gangster Squad” — the “L.A. Confidential”-meets-“Untouchables” crime drama that Warner Bros. still seems set to release this year — has its first trailer, which means “Crazy, Stupid, Love” fans can watch Ryan Gosling charm Emma Stone all over again.

The catch: Gosling is an LAPD officer, Stone is a moll, and Sean Penn’s Mickey Cohen would probably not think twice about killing them both.

Directed by Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland”), “Gangster Squad” — which is based on Paul Lieberman’s seven-part Los Angeles Times series “Tales From The Gangster Squad” — was initially locked into an October release date, but was moved to “TBD” in favor of Ben Affleck’s “Argo.” Still, discounting this one as anything other than an early Oscar player seems foolish. In addition to Penn (seemingly using Leonardo DiCaprio’s leftover makeup from “J. Edgar”), Gosling and Stone, the cast includes Josh Brolin, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Robert Patrick and Nick Nolte. That’s a great roster and all, but let’s focus back on Gosling and Stone.

“You want to take me away from all this,” she purrs. “No ma’am, I was just hoping to take you to bed,” he retorts. Swoon! Get these two a remake of “Bringing Up Baby,” stat.

Watch the trailer for “Gangster Squad” — complete with a Jay-Z music cueover at Apple.

  • “Numb/Encore” (“Miami Vice”)

    “We get down, if the play calls for it, bud.” Say what you will about Michael Mann’s overwrought, ultra-stylized “Miami Vice” (“Drive” before “Drive”?), but its Jay-Z-fueled trailer was just about perfect.

  • “Heart Of The City” (“American Gangster”)

    You can’t prove that “American Gangster” — an R-rated, two-and-a-half hour drama — opened with $43 million solely because Universal used “Heart of the City” in the trailer, but you can’t emnot/em prove it either. Just sayin’.

  • “Reminder” (“The Hangover Part II”)

    As if you needed another emreminder/em (groan) that “The Hangover Part II” was just a pale retread of “The Hangover,” the marketing campaign used Jay-Z’s “Reminder” to score many of the spots and trailers. At least the song is good.

  • “99 Problems” (“This Means War”)

    Nothing says “edgy” conflict like “99 Problems.” In addition to this early spot for “This Means War,” the song also pops up in “Taking of Pelham 1 2 3” and “Tower Heist.”

  • “Power” (“The Social Network”)

    Not as tied to “The Social Network” as that a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI9fL5EaZY4″ target=”_hplink”chorale version of “Creep” that was used to expertly in the first trailers/a, Kanye West’s “Power” had its own affect on the Facebook movie. After all, even nerds look cool when Kanye is blasting. (Also used in “Limitless.”)

  • “Empire State of Mind” (“Sex and the City 2”)

    The song might be all New York, but the movie was not. “Sex and the City 2” sent Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte to Abu Dhabi. Obviously.

  • “Don’t Let Me Die” (“G.I. Joe: Retaliation”)

    “In the immortal words of Jay-Z.” Yep, see you at the theater this summer!

  • “Run This Town” (“The Fighter”)

    An inspirational sports drama that relied on its score and some period appropriate ’80s and ’90s music, the television spots for “The Fighter” trotted out “Run This Town.” The results? Kinda awesome, actually.

  • “Beware” (“The Dictator”)

    Even the Borat-y jokes in the trailer for “The Dictator” look better with Jay-Z blaring on the soundtrack. Well played, Paramount marketing team!

  • “No Church in the Wild” (“Safe House”)

    For the Denzel Washington-Ryan Reynolds action flick (out Friday), Universal used the “Watch the Throne” hit “No Church in the Wild.” How much money this will add to the coffers remains to be seen, but the guess here is ema lot/em. Remember “American Gangster”?
