FilmDistrict has released the red band trailer for Drive that premiered today at Comic-Con. Matt raved about the trailer in his recap of the panel, and I wholeheartedly agree: a terrific tease for the film. Everyone at Cannes and the LA Film Festival loved it. It will screen again later tonight at Comic-Con, another place where I am not. September 16 is the release date for us common folk. Marking the days…
Ryan Gosling stars as a stunt driver who moonlights as a wheelman for criminals. When he agrees to help the husband of his beautiful neighbor (Carey Mulligan), matters go awry and he must protect the neighbor and her son.

Everything looks and sounds very promising. Definitely an intriguing trailer.
The Transporter but for adults! Digging this so much!
Yes, because the Transporter was certainly for children.
Wow.
seems alright, nothing special. THIS is what everyone’s been raving about for a couple of months now? weird.
Yeah have the same impressions. For the note I’ve loved every single Refn’s movie so far (well except Valhalla).
Maybe the music’s the thing that hits it out the ballpark. John Carpenter-like theme in the background is very badass.
Gosling is the new de Niro
Yawn…
Nice! Looks like it’ll be a very solid, entertaining film. I’m definitely seeing it. Gosling is the new de Niro? I wouldn’t go that far, but I do think he’s shaping up to be one of the better leading men in hollywood.
He’s no the new De Niro, but his performance in Blue Valentine is the best thing (besides DDL in There Will Be Blood) that i’ve seen by a leading actor in 10 years. He’ll continue to be amazing, because like the best actors that are intelligent, they are picky and choose roles and movies and in this case, directors that are great.
This is going to be outstanding.
Ryan Gosling is the new James Dean. He’s terrific. This looks like another great film.
