Cooper has signed a deal to co-star with Ryan Gosling in THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES, the follow-up film from BLUE VALENTINE director Derek Cianfrance.
Cooper will play a a cop tracking down a motorcycle rider (Gosling) who turns to bank robberies to support his newborn son (doesn’t this sound remarkably similar to DRIVE wherein Gosling plays a car driver who turns to bank robberies?).
The film is being set up and financed independently through Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and Cooper and Gosling will film this summer in Schenectady, New York. (That’s a sentence I never thought I’d type…)
