The Place Beyond the Pines
Ryan Gosling is one of the most exciting acting talents working in Hollywood at the moment and we are going to be seeing him in a handful of projects this year.
One of those projects is The Place Beyond the Pines which will see him reunite with filmmaker Derek Cianfrance.
The pair worked together on the critically praised Blue Valentine and this is the first movie since that triumph for the director.
We have the new trailer for the film for you to check out:
Gosling leads an all star cast as Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes and Ray Liotta are all set to star.
It is exciting to see Gosling and Cooper go head to head as two men either side of the law.
A mysterious and mythical motorcycle racer, Luke, (Gosling) drives out of a travelling carnival 'globe of death' and whizzes through the backstreets of Schenectady, New York desperately trying to connect with a former lover, Romina, (Mendes) who recently and secretly gave birth to the stunt rider’s son.
In an attempt to provide for his new family, Luke quits the carnival life and commits a series of bank robberies aided by his superior riding ability.
The stakes rise as Luke is put on a collision course with an ambitious police officer, Avery Cross, (Cooper) looking to quickly move up the ranks in a police department riddled with corruption.
The sweeping drama unfolds over fifteen years as the sins of the past haunt the present days lives of two high school boys wrestling with the legacy they’ve inherited. The only refuge is found in the place beyond the pines.
Gosling has a knack for picking really great projects and The Place Beyond The Pines promises to be another great performance from the actor.
It is also great to see Cianfrance back in the chair as he really is a very interesting filmmaker.
