"Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn) Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan"


          

Drive is the film that i am really looking forward to seeing later this year. Cannes loved it which is unusual for an "action" film at the French awards ceremony. Nicolas Winding Refn won best director at Cannes.

It is being described as a neo noir art house thriller with Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan and Albert Brooks (so great in everything especially Out of Sight). It is meant to be really violent!

IMDB has it with a 9.1 rating at the moment which will of course be reduced. This is the description: A Hollywood stunt performer who moonlights as a wheelman discovers that a contract has been put on him after a heist gone wrong.

There is no trailer yet but here are two clips. They show you nothing about this film.
One shows you what type of tone to expect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO1PCKcXfC0
and
one sets up the romance part of the story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRa3zyHUCtI

This is quite a good discussion on the film
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=429415

The run time is only 95 minutes and many critics were saying they wish it had been longer.

I cannes not wait!

           i think the general estimate is it doubles the budget
Sep 15th 2011
37
           I know it'll be fine... but I want it to be a HIT.
Sep 15th 2011
38
                i personally think it will be a hit

                     Where does it rank opening weekend BO?
Sep 15th 2011
40
                     No way. It's expected to open around 13

                          40 means a hit in that
Sep 16th 2011
53
                               I meant no way as in 60 million.
Sep 16th 2011

Wildly enjoyable and insanely violent. Don't think it'll be a hit though...
Sep 15th 2011

B.O.-wise, I'm thinking it'll be like The American or Hanna. n/m

A very interesting take on why DRIVE didn't perform well in theaters:
Sep 25th 2011
157
Shit, I called it above. It ain't rocket science.
Sep 26th 2011
159
YES because everyone I know who saw it and hated it

161
LOL this is so funny

The movie was never going to make that much

Fam, I'm seriously tempted to call the Filmdistrict offices and ask
Jan 13th 2012
244

Jan 14th 2012
246

Not sure if I remember it *exactly* that way.
Feb 06th 2012
249

Feb 06th 2012

Feb 13th 2012
252
What is "Licensed to Drive" ?
Feb 14th 2012
253
      One of the Coreys gems from the '80s
Feb 14th 2012
254
           I'm surprised there hasn't been a remake of it
Feb 14th 2012
255
           Cast it.
Feb 14th 2012
256
                Bieber and Jaden
Feb 21st 2012
272
           oh, LICENSE to Drive
Feb 14th 2012

Twilight for dudes
Feb 19th 2012
260
Let's go with... no
Feb 19th 2012
261
it is what it is
Feb 20th 2012
265
      Anything to argue, I suppose
Feb 20th 2012
267
           that would be you in that case
Feb 20th 2012
268
                Your arms should really hurt from reaching so hard
Feb 21st 2012
273
                     and this is now 3 replies in
Feb 21st 2012
275
funny you'd critisize an arguably over-stylized movie
Feb 21st 2012
269
damn that really hurt your feelings
Feb 21st 2012
270
      yup. shattered them
Feb 21st 2012
271

Instead of dismissing you, I'll ask for clarification.
Feb 21st 2012
277
      greetings frank!
Feb 21st 2012
279
           that's what I said.
Feb 21st 2012
282
           the fairy tale thing?
Feb 21st 2012
290
           But what you described here isn't Twilight
Feb 21st 2012
284
                I think that would be the "for dudes" part
Feb 21st 2012
286
                     Well, I'm going to need better examples than Twilight and Gump
Feb 21st 2012
287
                          Yeah, I didn't get the Gump reference at all.
Feb 21st 2012
288
                               i'll admit thats the stretch

Feb 20th 2012
266
It played the same at home too
Feb 21st 2012
274
I think it plays the same way at home.
Feb 21st 2012
278
The long wait also in the final shot that I'm still mad was cut
Feb 21st 2012
281
yep
Feb 21st 2012
280
Basic ploys don't necessarily mean empty style
