If you didn’t know Ryan Gosling‘s talent before this summer, than you certainly do now. Although he was fantastic in Half Nelson, Blue Valentine and more, he made a huge splash this year in Drive, The Ides of March, and Crazy, Stupid, Love. His career is showing no signs of slowing down as he is about to wrap up with Gangster Squad and then jump to another Nicolas Winding Refn film, Only God Forgives.
One of my most-anticipated films from the actor is his reunion with Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance in The Place Beyond the Pines. He stars alongside Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, Rose Byrne, Ben Mendelsohn and Ray Liotta in the film and after some set photos, we have the first official look.
It can be seen above via Rope of Silicon, for the film in which he plays “a motorcycle stunt rider who considers committing a crime in order to provide for his wife and child, an act that puts him on a collision course with a cop-turned-politician,” played by Cooper, who can also be seen below.
The Place Beyond the Pines is expected to arrive in 2012.
What do you think of the first official look?
