Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker investigate Biggie’s murder in new City of Lies trailer

March 10, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its theatrical release later this month, a new trailer has arrived online for City of Lies, the long-delayed crime thriller from director Brad Furman which stars Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker as an LAPD detective and a journalist who team up to investigate the murder of rapper Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G.; watch it here…

Based on the book, LAbyrinth, by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Randall Sullivan, this compelling crime-thriller follows the investigation into the infamous murder of iconic rap artist Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G. Oscar® nominee Johnny Depp 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 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.

City of Lies is set for a theatrical release on March 19th, followed by a digital and On Demand release on April 9th.
