Filming

Principal photography began on September 6, 2011 in Los Angeles. Sets were located all over L.A. County from north of the San Fernando Valley to south of the county border. Sets were also recreated in Sony Studios in Culver City.[9] Filming wrapped on December 15, 2011.[10]

Association with the 2012 Aurora shooting

The first trailer for Gangster Squad was released on May 9, 2012.[11] In the wake of the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, the trailer was pulled from running before films and airing on television, and removed from Apple's trailer site and YouTube due to a scene in which characters shoot submachine guns at moviegoers through the screen of Grauman's Chinese Theatre.[12][13] Warner Bros. will reportedly remove the theater scene from the film, and re-shoot several scenes, in the wake of the Aurora tragedy, which may result in the release of Gangster Squad to be pushed back to a later date. A test screening for the film, which was scheduled to occur in late July 2012 has also been cancelled.[14]
