Street Kings is a flick that's partially written by James Ellroy who's novels The Black Dahlia and White Jazz as well as the flick LA Confidential have been viewed and read by yours truly. Now, Ellroy wrote the story called The Night Watchman, which is being turned into (or is turned into) a film. Originally called The Night Watchman they changed the name to Street Kings the flick stars Keanu Reeves, Chris Evans, Common, Hugh Laurie, Jay Mohr, Forest Whitaker among others.
What I really love about Ellroy's books is the connections the books all make together with the characters. This story features a character named Diskant who is mentioned very much in White Jazz, and also the Reeves character who is named Tom Ludlow. All we need is a guy named David D Klein.
I'm eagerly anticipating this, and White Jazz from Joe Carnahan. This flick is directed by David Ayer, who directed Harsh Times and that's it, however, he wrote Training Day.
