Notorious B.I.G. You can check out the teaser now in the player

In September 1996, Tupac Shakur was murdered in a drive-by shooting
in Las Vegas. In March 1997, the Notorious B.I.G. was similarly
shot after an awards show in Los Angeles. Neither crime has ever
been solved. Sullivan's book received critical acclaim and prompted
two lawsuits against the LAPD, sparked an FBI investigation, and
continues to be the definitive story of two of the most infamous
unsolved murderers in hip hop history.

Oscar nominee Johnny Depp (Sweeney Todd, Finding Neverland, Pirates
of the Caribbean franchise) stars as determined LAPD detective
Russell Poole, who spent nearly 20 years trying to solve the murder,
and Oscar and Primetime Emmy winner Forest Whitaker (The Last King
of Scotland, Godfather of Harlem, Lee Daniels' The Butler) as Jack
Jackson, a journalist who teams up with Poole in search of the
elusive truth. 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 movie is directed by Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer,
The Infiltrator, Runner Runner) and written by Christian Contreras,
known for starring in Halo: Nightfall.

City of Lies is produced by Miriam Segal, Paul Brennan, and Stuart
Manashi. Co-producers include Paula Turnbull and Jess Fuerst. The
movie will release only in theaters on March 19 and then on Digital
and On Demand on April 9.
