Black Mass - Teaser Trailer

Irish-American criminal mastermind Whitey Bulger was arguably one of the most dangerous men in America before his arrest in 2011 at the age of 81. He'd already spent time in Alcatrez as a much younger man, having spent a lot of time on the streets of South Boston. However, by the 70s he proved to be the FBI's best tool in controlling organised crime within the country, and he was eventually persuaded by his friend John Connolly to be their informant in all workings of the rival Italian Mafia. However, it's not safe business being both a highly respected gangster and a police informant, and while much of his activity is being largely ignored as he rises to become top of the Irish Winter Hill Gang, it seems he is gaining too many killings and dodgy dealings under his belt to go unnoticed.

This gritty crime thriller is based on the life of real life serial gangster James 'Whitey' Bulger who became one the FBI's Most Wanted criminals. With material taken from the book 'Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob' by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill, released in 2001, the movie has been directed by Scott Cooper ('Out of the Furnace', 'Crazy Heart') and written by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth ('Get on Up', 'Edge of Tomorrow', 'The Last Legion'). 'Black Mass' is set to hit theaters on November 13th 2015.
