Rampart

Trailer-Park

 

L

ast October Culturedeluxe reported that writer James Ellroy, speaking at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall reading from his memoir The Hilliker Curse, confirmed that his original screenplay Rampart was due to start filming that month. We can now show you the first explosive trailer for the film.

Rampart concerns real life widespread corruption in the Community Resources Against Street hoodlums (CRASH) anti-gang unit of 1990′s LAPD. Woody Harrelson, directed by Oren Moverman, who co-wrote with Ellroy, plays “the most corrupt cop you’ve ever seen on screen.” Quite a claim. No word yet on a UK release. Rampart also stars Ice Cube, Steve Buscemi, Robin Wright, Anne Heche and Cynthia Nixon. Check out the trailer below.
