It will be accurate, but this production company should have never got the rights to make it. Mark Wahlberg and his people should have made it or Affleck and Damon. If the 3 of those guys got along they could have made it the best movie in a long time. The actors on this Black Mass movie are good, with Depp being the main attraction, but the guys I just mentioned would have acted in it themselves and got a much better cast. They are local boys and they know the story better than this crew that made the movie. Now this will be the only movie made on it and it's not the whole story of the Winter Hill Gang. It will still be a blockbuster, but could have been way better, comes out in the fall of 2015. If Scorcese actually makes the movie about Jonny Martorano then it will wipe this film out and be the most accurate, but that has pretty much died on the vine as well like the old Winter Hill script
Last I heard, I thought Affleck & Damon had a deal in place with Warner Brothers?
