Editor here. I erroneously included that Mulligan/Evans info from an old production weekly. Thanks for the heads up all, I have fixed the post. I guess we\’ve learned 2 things here: 1- Editors DO look at the posts and 2- Editors are fallible too. Yay hugz.

Wait… Mulligan is in this too?

And by this I mean Only God Forgives.

Yea, if Carey Mulligan is in the movie…then why is that not your headline?

Following the commercial hit “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” Gosling is the star of this year’s most buzzed-about movie, Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive” and will be returning to theaters once again October 7th as the lead in George Clooney’s political drama, “The Ides of March.”

I know you guys love Gosling, but sorry – \”Crazy Stupid Love\” was not exactly a commercial hit. $83 million domestic for a summer Steve Carrell comedy? Not a flop but certainly not a big hit.

And the years most buzzed about movie? Only on this site and others like. Theatrically, Drive came and went without much \”buzz\” or notice from the general public. And yes, it\’s the public that matters, not a couple blogs who have nothing better to do than salivate over anything Refn or Gosling say.

@RJ Why do you read The Playlist? Maybe your tastes are better suited for Movieline.

Is Carey Mulligan in this or did you get your wires crossed?

Now that \”Drive\” has tanked at the box office and they have both decided to make something even less mainstream next, well, I think they both can kiss \”Logan\’s Run\” goodbye (let alone any dreams of doing \”Wonder Woman\” with Kendricks).

I can only assume Kristin Scott Thomas is playing the Jenna, the Lady Macbeth matriarch in \”Only God Forgives.\” I hope she plays it with no-nonsense sinister relish like Jacki Weaver in Animal Kingdom. Can\’t wait, hopefully a Cannes contender next year.

Almost positive there\’s never been any press saying Carey Mulligan is a part of \’Only God Forgives\’ (she\’s supposedly attached to \’I Walk With the Dead\’). Also, Ryan Gosling was a replacement for Luke Evans. So….next time run this past an editor? Or at least double-check your facts?

Firstly, wasn\’t Luke Evans essentially replaced by Gosling on this film? Or has he been downgraded to a supporting role?

But to all the commenters – unless Refn screws up royally on Only God Forgives, he\’ll still be in demand from studios. Forget Drive\’s box office – it\’s made a good impression on people, and I\’m sure actors are taking note and marking Refn as one to work with.

Drive made 80 million with a 15 million bugdet so define tanked

Refn will certainly be a favorite amongst actors and some studios. But I think it\’s pretty safe to assume that he won\’t get anything greenlit that\’s above $75-85M. And that\’s being generous. Forget Warner\’s ponying up for the $200M or so required for Logan\’s Run.

\’Pines\’ is indeed still happening and I think it wrapped at the end of August.

Please god let them re-think this. Gosling playing English. That seems so wrong somehow. I love him in everything pretty much but i just cannot imagine him with an English accent. Very bizarre.

Pines wrapped yesterday.

I can\’t imagine they\’ll keep Gosling\’s character British. Seems like the plot doesn\’t require it at all – rather they made him British to fit Luke Evans in the early casting.

Anybody know if Place Beyond the Pines with Derek Cianfrance is still happening? I was thinking they had already begun production because there were set photos but I can\’t imagine they finished all of Gosling\’s scenes before Gangster Squad started. Or maybe that was longer ago than I thought…
I guess just curious why it wasn\’t mentioned and I\’m hoping it\’s still happening because it seemed awesome

Was looking forward to seeing \”A PLACE BEYOND THE PINES\” until I heard they had cast Eva Mendes. This automatically tells me their unsure of it\’s value.

anyone know any information about casting for Only God Forgives.

I happen to live in Bangkok full time, around the time of primary shooting, and have done backgrounds and lead ins for several other movies filmed in BKK. Any info would help. I can't find any info about production online!

I'd love to be a part of this.
