Warner Bros. Pulls ‘Gangster Squad’ Trailer from Internet After Shootings

Warner Bros. has pulled the trailer for a movie called Gangster Squad from the Internet after the Dark Knight Rises shootings early Friday morning because the former film contains a shootout in a movie theater.

A scene from the trailer of the film — which was set to premiere on Sept. 7 — featured four men in trenchcoats walking towards an audience and shooting at them with automatic weapons. The preview was set to run in some theaters before The Dark Knight‘s showing, but the studio pulled it out of sensitivity to the mass shooting in Aurora, Colo.

However, the trailer was still available on the Internet for much of Friday. By Friday afternoon, the clip had been pulled from the Apple Trailer Page and YouTube as well.

The movie, a mobster drama set in 1940′s Los Angeles, stars Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Sean Penn.
