Directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), The Nice Guys stars Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe, Angourie Rice, Matt Bomer, Margaret Qualley, Keith David, Beau Knapp, and Kim Basinger.


Shane co-wrote the script with Anthony Bagarozzi. The film’s executive produced by Ken Kao, Hal Sadoff, Alex Walton, and Michael J. Malone. Warner Bros Pictures is opening The Nice Guys in theaters on May 20, 2016.
