‘The Place Beyond The Pines’ Gets A New Poster, 12 New Images
Focus Features today released a new poster and 12 new images for Derek Cianfrance’s upcoming drama, The Place Beyond the Pines. If you haven’t seen Derek’s previous film, 2010’s Blue Valentine, I implore you to do so, as the feature was one of the most heart wrenching, well written dramas that I’ve seen in years.
The Place Beyond the Pines hits theatres this Friday, March 29th, and stars Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, Olga Meredez, and more! Check out the plethora of new images below, and let us know what you think! Haven’t seen the trailer? We’ve got you covered!
Luke (Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling) is a high-wire motorcycle stunt performer who travels with the carnival from town to town. While passing through Schenectady in upstate New York, he tries to reconnect with a former lover, Romina (Eva Mendes), only to learn that she has given birth to their son Jason in his absence. Luke decides to give up life on the road to try and provide for his newfound family by taking a job as a car mechanic. Noticing Luke’s ambition and talents, his employer Robin (Ben Mendelsohn) proposes to partner with Luke in a string of spectacular bank robberies – which will place Luke on the radar of ambitious rookie cop Avery Cross (Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper).
Avery, who has to navigate a local police department ruled by the menacing and corrupt detective Deluca (Ray Liotta), is also struggling to balance his professional life with his family life, which includes his wife Jennifer (Rose Byrne) and their infant son AJ. The consequences of Avery’s confrontation with Luke will reverberate into the next generation. It is then that the two sons, Jason (Dane DeHaan) and AJ (Emory Cohen), must face their fateful, shared legacy.
