A first-look trailer for Black Mass has arrived online today.
Starring Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kevin Bacon, Peter Sarsgaard, Dakota Johnson, Corey Stoll and Sienna Miller, Black Mass is directed by Scott Cooper and adapted from the book Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob, by Dick Lehr and Gerard OāNeill.
In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James āWhiteyā Bulger (Johnny Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. Black Mass tells the true story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history.
The film also stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Whiteyās brother, Billy Bulger, a Massachusetts State Senator; Jesse Plemons as Whiteyās longtime partner in crime, Kevin Weeks; Sienna Miller as Whiteyās lover, Catherine Greig; Dakota Johnson as Lindsey Cyr, Whiteyās former girlfriend and mother of his only child; Rory Cochrane as Steve Flemmi, another member of the Irish mob; Julianne Nicholson as John Connollyās wife, Marianne; and Adam Scott as FBI Agent Robert Fitzpatrick. Rounding out the main cast are David Harbour, Jeremy Strong, Brad Carter, W. Earl Brown and Corey Stoll.
Black Mass will be released in UK cinemas on 25th September 2015.
