‘The Nice Guys’ TV Spot: The Nice Guys Detective Agency Is Here To Help
The Nice Guysshould make for a nice breath of fresh air this summer. While there are plenty of huge tentpole movies coming out over the next few months, writer-directorShane Blackis offering up something a little different, and hopefully that’ll be enough to convince audiences to seeRyan GoslingandRussell Croweunite in this buddy detective picture.
Below, watch the latestThe Nice GuysTV spot, which tries to sell you on the Nice Guys Detective Agency.
Black started working on the script around 13 years ago. After years of trying to get the film made, the project finally fell into place when producerJoel Silversuggested one last push, and that push led to landing Gosling and Crowe within days. The long wait for Black seems to have paid off, because he ended up casting two actors that are clearly having a ball with these roles. If Gosling and Crowe’s chemistry is as exciting as it looks in thetrailers, thenwe’re in for a rare, R-rated, 1970s-set treat.
Here’sThe Nice GuysTV spot.
While Black’s directorial debut,Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, underperformed for Warner Bros.,The Nice Guysshould fare far better at the box office. “From the director ofIron Man 3” and two notable stars should help, but more than that, there are probably no other movies likeThe Nice Guyscoming out this summer. We’re going to see plenty of explosions and hero’s journeys over the next few months, but how many times are we going to see Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe delivering Shane Black’s delightful dialogue? Only once, which is why, for me,The Nice Guysis this summer’s event film.
Here’s the official synopsis forThe Nice Guys:
Set in 1970s Los Angeles, down-on-his-luck private eye Holland March (Ryan Gosling) and hired enforcer Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) must work together to solve the case of a missing girl and the seemingly unrelated death of a porn star. During their investigation, they uncover a shocking conspiracy that reaches up to the highest circles of power.
