I missed this from just a couple days back, but the trailer for Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington’s American Gangster, about a 1970s Harlem drug lord and the cop trying to bring him down, has dropped online, and might even get a wide-pitch hitch on Universal’s forthcoming Evan Almighty, who knows.

All the period detail stuff looks spot-on and immersing, and it’s good to see that we get at least a bit of tête-à-tête between the two, even if all the plot stuff is rendered in deliberately broad strokes. A November 2 release date has been set for the movie; no word yet on its running time, per my other post. I’ll see if I can shake a tree on that. For the American Gangster trailer, click here.
