Watch The Red Band Trailer For Nicolas Winding Refn’s ‘Only God Forgives’
Nicolas Winding Refn is the fucking man.
I absolutely loved 2011’s Drive. The movie was simply so stylish, so atmospheric, so well thought out that I found myself absolutely on the edge of my seat through its entirety, and absolutely wishing for more once it was done. And don’t forget about that soundtrack; today, even two years later, I start my journey to work every single morning with College/Electric Youth’s ‘A Real Hero’, and it never, ever gets old.
Refn and Ryan Gosling are teaming up again, this time for a film called Only God Forgives. Today, a red band trailer for the movie was released, and if you liked the phenomenal sounds and imagery in Drive, you’re in for a treat with this one.
Watch the trailer for Only God Forgives below, and let us know what you think. The movie hits theatres on July 19th.
Julian (Gosling) lives in exile in Bangkok where he runs a Thai boxing club as a front for the family’s drugs smuggling operation. When Julian’s brother Billy is killed their mother, Jenna (Kristen Scott Thomas), arrives in the city. She wants revenge and forces Julian to find the killer. Julian’s contacts in the criminal underworld lead him directly to The Angel of Vengeance, a retired police officer who knows everything and who is both Judge and Punisher. Jenna demands that Julian kill The Angel of Vengeance, an act that will cost him dearly.
