"The unsolved murder of two young men... Have any suspects?" Saban Films has released another official trailer for City of Lies, an investigative crime thriller from director Brad Furman. The film is about how the murders of Tupac Shakur and Notorious Big spark an investigation, following an LAPD detective who has spent two decades trying to solve his biggest case without much luck. Not to mention lots of corruption. Johnny Depp stars as Detective Poole, and co-stars with Forest Whitaker, a reporter named Jack Jackson. "Together they explore why the case remains cold — and why a secret division of the LAPD is seemingly set on keeping it that way." The full cast includes Toby Huss, Dayton Callie, Neil Brown Jr., Shea Whigham, Xander Berkeley, Melanie Benz, Shamier Anderson, Christian George, and Michael Paré. This was originally scheduled for 2019, we even featured a trailer back in 2018, but it's just getting ...

Stars: Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker, Toby Huss, Dayton Callie, Neil Brown Jr., Louis Herthum, Shea Whigham, Xander Berkeley, Melanie Benz, Shamier Anderson, Laurence Mason, Christian George, Michael Pare, Amin Joseph, Josh Hardwick | Written by Christian Contreras | Directed by Brad Furman
City of Lies, also known as LAbyrinth, is directed by Brad Furman and is based off the book LAbyrinth by Randall Sullivan. The film stars Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker as Russell Poole and Jack Jackson, respectively. The former, a seasoned Lapd Detective who is embroiled into the murders of Christopher Wallace and Tupac Shakur. The latter, an equally as seasoned reporter who is digging deeper in the case for his newspaper’s anniversary retrospective about the murders. Furman’s film is what I feared it would be – a conspiracy theory baited drama on the killings themselves without much substance found anywhere else.

Might have some slick twists and turns. Check it. Here's the first official trailer for...

Decadence, violence, love and space – Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw shares his fantasy award nomination list for 2013
• The 2012 Braddies
Awards season is now upon us and here, as every year, is my personal fantasy award nomination list for 2013, whimsically called the Braddies, which covers the period running from the beginning of the calendar year to the present. There are 10 nominations in eight categories: film, director, actor, actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, screenplay and documentary.
The reader is invited to nominate the winner in the comments section below, and perhaps to note omissions and evidence that the list betrays suggestions of sociocultural bias.
I like to think that these awards will one day evolve into an actual ceremony with chrome-and-glass statuettes, sponsorship from Sky Atlantic and a televised evening presided over by Dara Ó Briain or Mariella Frostrup. But until then, it exists in a world of fantasy only. And so,...
