Today was the first day of shooting on the highly anticipated TNT series L.A. Noir.
The series is being described as a “fast-paced crime drama set in Los Angeles during the 1940s and ’50s.” It is based on John Buntin’s book L.A. Noir: The Struggle For The Soul Of America’s Most Seductive City, about the decades-long conflict between the LAPD and a ruthless criminal elements including Mickey Cohen.
If the plot sounds familiar it should since it is also the basis for the upcoming film The Gangster Squad.
The series is being written and directed by Frank Darabont who also developed The Walking Dead which is why it is no surprise Jon Bernthal (who played the recently killed off Shane on Walking Dead) has landed a lead role in L.A. Noir. Simon Pegg and Milo Ventimiglia also star.
On Friday L.A. Noir is filming at 938 S Figueroa in L.A. from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
