'American Gangster', starring Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington, is not scheduled for release until Friday.
But a special preview screening is set for tomorrow at the Loews Mountainside 10 cineplex. A portion of the proceeds of the sneak preview will benefit survivors of the three college students gunned down in a Newark schoolyard this past summer.
The movie is based on the true story of Richie Roberts, an Essex County assistant prosecutor in the 1970s who prosecuted a legendary Harlem hood, Frank Lucas. The story revolves around turning Lucas into an informant and his subsequent friendship with Roberts.
Roberts, portrayed by Crowe in the film, pushed for the special screening to help residents of Newark, where he grew up.
