Drive Reviews, Interviews & More
While it’s not a bad trailer by any means, the red-band ad for Only God Forgives plays exactly as one would expect the follow-up film from Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn to do: star Ryan Gosling blankly looks at things before exploding in violence, there’s a swoon-heavy soundtrack, and the images are doused in deep red, blue, pink and purple lights.
Fans of goofy 1970s films about the future, your day just got a little darker—it turns out that Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn just lost his leading man in the upcoming remake of Logan's Run. Ryan Gosling, star of Refn’s Drive as well as the director’s upcoming boxing film Only God Forgives, has dropped out of...
With The Expendables 2 opening this weekend, it unites Sylvester Stallone (age 66) with Chuck Norris (72), Arnold Schwarzenegger (65) and Bruce Willis (57). In this case it's the years and the mileage. But having a bunch of geriatrics deliver death blows in nothing new in cinema, and many of our favorite masters of putting foot-to-ass could collect Social Security....
For years, rumors have swirled around the possibility of a Barbarella remake. The ridiculously campy original 1968 film—itself a comic book adaptation—featured Jane Fonda as an outer-space super-spy who battled a baddie named Duran Duran, an evil lesbian space queen, and a machine that kills you with orgasms, all while teaming up with an angel (literally) and...
Maniac Cop—the b-movie, undead cop/slasher movie franchise so ridiculous that it managed to use the same tagline twice (“You Have The Right To Remain Silent…Forever!”)—has a devoted fanbase, thanks mostly to the b-movie gods behind it: all three films are directed by William Lustig (Maniac, Vigilante) and written by Larry...
17 years since its debut, The Lion King is still a favorite with audiences. This weekend the Disney film was re-released in 3D and audiences were more than spend a little extra to see their favorite film, reworked. The new version topped the charts with an unexpected gross of $29.3 million – we predicted it would rule with $13 million. The thriller...
Can you feel the love tonight? After Contagion took the box office last weekend, you would think that September might have some moves. Normally a very slow month, this weekend proves how slow that is if The Lion King (in 3-D) manages to trump everything else. Then again, the hottest of the new titles is...
Get ready for Drive. The modern 80's-esq, dramatic, action film about a driver who knows how to do one thing damn well. From the unique characters, to the stellar performances across the board, this risky film sets its unique tone from the start and carries it through to the bitter end. With its risky style of shooting, to the willfully strong perspective of the...
Trailers are a great way for films to find an audience, especially when those films don't have massive, multi-million-dollar campaigns backing them up. There were so many good, smaller trailers released last week, that we had trouble keeping up. So despite the fact that these are a bit delayed, we just had to get the previews for The Woman, Apollo...
Yesterday, ScreenCrave had the pleasure of being able to sit down with the bold and visionary director, Nicolas Winding Refn at this years Comic-Con while he was promoting his film Drive after sharing a panel with Guillermo del Toro and his film Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. An odd combination when you think of the films, but not the filmmakers. Though Refn is far less likely...
The cast of Nicolas Winding Refn's action flick Drive continues to grow with the addition of a new actor. "Sons of Anarchy" regular and Hellboy alum Ron Perlman has signed on to join the film according to a report from ScreenDaily. Perlman is in good company with a cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Bryan...
A couple weeks ago it was announced that Carey Mulligan was in negotiations to star in the action film Drive alongside Ryan Gosling and Bryan Cranston. At the time, the film was said to center on “a nameless Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a freelance getaway driver but ends up on the run with a contract on his head and an ex-con’s girlfriend." I recently...

She was once a contender for the sought after role of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's American adaptation of the book. She lost out to newcomer Rooney Mara, and is looking for other projects to occupy her time. According to THR, she's in talks to star in a film called...
