A new poster for Johnny Depp‘s upcoming film ‘Black Mass’ has been released.
The film, which is based off of a true story, stars Depp as Whitey Bulger, a notorious gangster-turned-informant running the slick streets of Boston, who masterminded a violent gang in Boston while also reportedly turning federal informant to take down rivals.
Everything seemed to be going well – particularly with corrupt FBI agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) helping to smooth things – until the Bureau began making arrests, agents double-crossed Bulger and prosecuted him as well.
Bulger fled in 1994 and was captured in 2011 in California.
Senator William ”Billy” Bulger [Benedict Cumberbatch], a career politician who claimed when questioned that he wasn’t aware of the extent of his older sibling’s criminal activities.
The film also stars Dakota Johnson, Juno Temple and Jesse Plemons.
Black Mass hits theaters on September 18.
