The movie is written by Will Beal, which itself an adaptation from a series of L.A. Times articles, explores the true story of a band of secret "off the record" police task force who went after Meyer Harris "Mickey" Cohen, a high-profile gangster who was a member of the "Jewish Mafia" in the 1940's. The current cast includes Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Anthony Mackie, Michael Peña and Giovanni Ribisi. According to the reports, Stone would play the role Jean who caught in a love triangle with mobster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) and Ryan Gosling's character. If she signs in, this will re-team Stone with her Zombieland director.
