Two ex-pugilist cops, Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) and Bucky Bleichert (Josh Hartnett), are called to investigate the homicide of ambitious silver-screen B-lister Betty Ann Short (Mia Kirshner) A.K.A. "The Black Dahlia"--an attack so grisly that images of the killing were kept from the public.

While Blanchard's growing preoccupation with the sensational murder threatens his marriage to Kay (Scarlett Johansson), his partner Bleichert finds himself attracted to the enigmatic Madeleine Linscott (two-time Oscar� winner Hilary Swank), the daughter of one of the city's most prominent families--who just happens to have an unsavory connection to the murder victim.


The trailer for The Black Dahlia plays like a sexually charged version of Hollywoodland. The really great thing about it though, is Josh Hartnett, who after years wasting his time in horrible rom-coms and buddy-cop movies has apparently found his niche. He proved it in Sin City and here he's doing it again. The guy was born to be an old fashioned noir detective, and in the trailer he tackles his gumshoe character with appropriate aplomb. That means good. Forget Scarlett Johansson's hotness and Hilary Swank's lesbian activity tease, keep an eye on this one just for him.
