Global Road Entertainment has released the first City of Lies trailer, the new crime-drama about the still unsolved murder case of the rapper Notorious B.I.G. and the two men that tried to crack it.

Based on the book LAbyrinth by Randall Sullivan, City of Lies stars Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker, Rockmond Dunbar, Neil Brown Jr, Xander Berkeley and Shea Whigham.

Based on the true story of one of the most notorious and unsolved cases in recent time, City of Lies is a provocative thriller revealing a never-before-seen look at the infamous murder of The Notorious B.I.G. shortly following the death of Tupac. L.A.P.D. detective Russell Poole (Depp) has spent years trying to solve his biggest case, but after two decades, the investigation remains open. “Jack” Jackson (Whitaker), a reporter desperate to save his reputation and career, is determined to find out why. In search of the truth, the two team up and unravel a growing web of institutional corruption and lies. Relentless in their hunt, these two determined men threaten to uncover the conspiracy and crack the foundation of the L.A.P.D. and an entire city.

City of Lies will debut in theaters on September 7.

Former genius and a woman of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by her mystery, Dana Abercrombie has been watching movies since birth (yes birth...we did say "genius"). Despite her secret desire of wanting to give it all up to become a gorgeous billionaire, Dana is most passionate politics about movies often times getting in many heated debates resulting in being thrown out of many gatherings. Despite having a degree in English AND Journalism (multi-tasking FTW!) from the University at Albany-SUNY, she is currently interested in perusing a degree at Yale Law School, because one should never give up on a dream of becoming a gorgeous billionaire...and knowing how to sue someone as a result of those heated debates.
