'Only God Forgives' Teaser Clip: "Time To Meet The Devil"
Here's a quick, rather low-quality teaser clip from Nicolas Winding Refn's new film, Only God Forgives. The twenty seconds or so of footage shows star Ryan Gosling and co-star Kristen Scott Thomas in their roles in Refn's Thai-set revenge film. Just what is going on here? Difficult to tell, exactly, but even this brief look shows the same blend of cool command and potential violence that characterized Refn and Gosling's last outing, Drive.
See the footage below; it probably won't stay online for long.
Only God Forgives doesn't have a release date yet, but we'll most likely see it premiere at Cannes, and then hit the US in the months that follow.
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.
