Gosling meets Mendes beyond the Pines
Since everybody here already knows about my obsession with Ryan Gosling, it will come as no surprise that I am super and I mean SUPER excited about the release of his latest film The Place Beyond the Pines next week. It premiered last year at the Toronto Film Festival and is by the director that also created Blue Valentine Derek Cianfrance.
Gosling plays motorcycle stuntman Luke who gives up his dangerous job when his ex-lover Romina (real life current lover of Gosling Eva Mendes) reveals they have a son. Although Romina doesn’t want him in his son’s life, Luke wants to provide for the child and partners with an “ex”-bank robber to start a career in doing precisely that.
Of course it won’t stay good for long and the trailer seems dark, dangerous and reminds me somewhat of Drive (without the underlying humor). I will get back with more details once I’ve seen the piece. For now all I can say is watch the trailer, you’ll want to see it too! Details and the trailer after the jump….
