Johnny Depp (And Every Other Famous Man) Is A 1970s Gangster In The New ‘Black Mass’ Trailer

Do you find Johnny Depp’s characteristic charm and good looks deeply unnecessary? Is it a huge inconvenience that you generally have to watch a variety of movies to see all your favourite actors? Do you have a thing for Boston accents and/or sideburns? If so, please enjoy:

Set to be released in a couple of months, Black Mass tells the true story of infamous Boston gangster-turned-FBI informant-turned fugitive Whitey Bulger and looks as though it will be a really disturbing performance from Depp. In previous clips he’s been seen creeping out small children, scaring the shit out of a guy while talking about steak and maniacally cackling at anyone he happens to be around.

Now, the latest trailer released this morning has given us a better look at the rest of the cast — and there are a bunch of faces you’ll recognise. Todd from Breaking Bad is glaring at people, Tom Buchanan from The Great Gatsby is swanning about in fancy suits, Sherlock is a state senator/gangster’s brother, Peter Russo from House of Cards is a frustrated cop, and Kevin Bacon is also around. (FYI you probably also caught sight of Anastasia Steele/Dakota Johnson but since she’s only seen briefly crying and getting kissed, it’s safe to say this is all about the boys).

If you feel like hunting through the older clips, you’ll also find a heavily moustached Ben Wyatt from Parks and Rec. Honestly, I’d go see it for that alone.
