Speeding into theaters next Friday is the much-anticipated Nicolas Winding Refn film DRIVE.
We’ve got a brand new international (Russian to be exact) poster for you to gaze upon. It features Ryan Gosling and the ladies Carey Mulligan and Christian Hendricks. A damn fine trio to help sell a film if I do say so myself, and that’s just a portion of the cast which also includes Bryan Cranston, Oscar Isaac, Ron Perlman and Albert Brooks.
Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. Though a loner by nature, Driver can’t help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene, a vulnerable young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband Standard.
After a heist intended to pay off Standard’s protection money spins unpredictably out of control, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals. But when he realizes that the gangsters are after more than the bag of cash in his trunk-that they’re coming straight for Irene and her son-Driver is forced to shift gears and go on offense.
The film was written by Hossein Amini, based on the book by James Sallis.
Oh hai Christina Hendricks, looking stunning as always!
