New poster for long-delayed City of Lies starring Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker

March 5, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Saban Film has released a poster for City of Lies, the long-delayed crime thriller based on Randall Sullivan’s book Labyrinth: A Detective Investigates the Murders of Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G., the Implication of Death Row Records’ Suge Knight, and the Origins of the Los Angeles Police Scandal, which follows LAPD Russell Poole (Johnny Depp) and journalist Jack Jackson (Forest Whitaker) as they investigate the murder of rapper The Notorious B.I.G.; take a look 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.
