First THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES Clips

Today we have the first two clips from the upcoming drama film The Place Beyond the Pines co-written and directed by Derek Cianfrance and starring Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, and Eva Mendes.

Gosling plays Luke, a motorcycle stunt rider and habitual loner who works for a travelling carnival, roaming from town to town. After reuniting with his sometime girlfriend Romina (Eva Mendes), Luke discovers that he has fathered a son.

Determined to meet his responsibility but unable to support a family, Luke opts to start robbing banks. On his getaway motorcycle, Luke is magnificent: skilled, daring, reckless and macho. But on one heist he draws the pursuit of rookie cop Avery (Bradley Cooper). It proves a fateful confrontation.

The cast also includes Rose Byrne, Mahershala Ali, Dane DeHaan, Bruce Greenwood, Ray Liotta, and Ben Mendelsohn.

The Place Beyond the Pines comes to theaters in 2013.
