Production Starts on Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive
Nicolas Winding Refn’s upcoming action-thriller titled Drive is definitely our favourite. No wonder, since the movie already stars Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, Oscar Isaac and Albert Brooks.
So, jut like we promised, we’re back with some official announcement about the story that follows:
“…a Hollywood stunt driver by day (Ryan Gosling), a loner by nature, who moonlights as a top-notch getaway driver-for-hire in the criminal underworld.
He finds himself a target for some of LA’s most dangerous men after agreeing to aid the husband of his beautiful neighbor, Irene (Carey Mulligan). When the job goes dangerously awry, the only way he can keep Irene and her son alive is to do what he does best – Drive!”

Now, we’re here to add another name to this list, because Ron Perlman has become the latest to join this team.
Drive centers on a nameless Hollywood stuntman (played by Gosling) who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night.
In classic noir fashion, he is double-crossed and, though before he has never participated in the violence, he goes after the ones who double-crossed and tried to kill him.

“I drive. That’s what I do. All I do.” So declares the enigmatic Driver in this masterfully convoluted neo-noir, which ranges from the dive bars and flyblown motels of Los Angeles to seedy strip malls dotting the Arizona desert.

Valhalla Rising Extended Clip
We could say that this one – Valhalla Rising – is real action adventure, although some critics say that it’s too violent, or maybe even too slow.
Well, we can not totally agree with them, since we all know that you don’t have a chance to see this kind of theme in your cinemas too often. And this time, you have some epic time mixed with visually and aurally perfection, and brought to you by director Nicolas Winding Refn.
Take a look at the extended clip, below, which is actually a series of cuts from the fight scenes in the film. Check out also the first trailer with photos from Valhalla Rising.
If you like Viking stories, than you will be happy to see the life of a mute warrior, who has been held prisoner by the Norse chieftain Barde.
Valhalla Rising Trailer Online!
Today we have a trailer for Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn‘s latest film called “Valhalla Rising.”
The movie will promote the teory that an expedition of Vikings from Scotland reached North America centuries before Christopher Columbus. Most historicans now accept that Vikings beat Columbus to the New World. Voyages are described in Norse sagas and evidence has been found to prove their presence on the continent. “Valhalla Rising” will though be shot as a fictional movie, in Nicolas Winding Refn’s documentary style.
Tom Hardy: Bronson isn’t a monster
“Bronson,” which opens UK theaters on March 13, 2009, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn – no stranger to the criminal milieu on the evidence of his “Pusher” trilogy – the film takes a sideways glance at a ‘monster’ whose aggressive, often counter-intuitive exploits highlight paradoxes in the penal system as well as presenting a charismatic, vicious rogue who, to this day, playfully escapes easy appraisal from behind his cell door.
Charles Bronson (born Michael Gordon Peterson), who has spent a total of 131 days as a free man, however, has been pivotal in the script’s development, and has worked closely with writers and producers to make sure that the most salient (and brutal) details of his life make it to the screen intact.
Great New Bronson Poster
The quad poster for the upcoming drama “Bronson,” has been released.
The notorious life of the UK’s “most violent prisoner” serves as the subject of Pusher Trilogy director Nicolas Winding Refn’s brutal biopic.
Born Michael Peterson but later renamed by his fight promoter, Charles Bronson’s sole ambition in life was to become famous. Surmising that the fastest means of accomplishing his goal with such limited opportunities was to cultivate a stylized persona as a hardened criminal, the ambitious do-badder embraced a desperate existence of extreme savagery.
