A much-needed respite to capes and retreads, there are few studio films we’re anticipating more this year than Shane Black‘s return to the crime drama/comedy with The Nice Guys. Starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, the 1970s-set tale follows tough guy Jackson Healy and private detective Holland March who are working on a missing person case. A fantastic new trailer has now dropped for the film, showing off more of the comedy, action, and plot.
“The two problems that epitomized LA in the ’70s, I think, were smog and porn,” Black tells Thrillist. “[We wanted] a plot that embraced them both. In the same way as Chinatown, which shined a light on the ’30s, we [wanted to] tell the story the way we want to tell it, but as a plot device, these things work pretty well. They speak to the time period.”
Check out the trailer and poster below and head over here to listen to the full soundtrack, featuring Bee Gees, The Temptations, Kiss, Kool & The Gang, Earth, Wind & Fire, Kiss, The Band, and more.
The Nice Guys opens on May 20th, 2016.
