Remember when Ryan Gosling said he was going to retire from acting? Well, I’m sure his fans are glad he seemed to have reneged on that idea, because he’s been a ton of films, including the upcoming film from Nicolas Winding Refn, “Only God Forgives.”
The film, also starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Vithaya Pansringarm, is the story of a fugitive in Bangkok who is out to fulfill his mothers vengeance:
Julian (Gosling), an American fugitive from justice, runs a boxing club in Bangkok as a front for his drug business.
His mother, the head of a vast criminal organization, arrives from the US to collect the body of her favorite son, Billy. Julian’s brother has just been killed after having savagely murdered a young prostitute. Crazy with rage and thirsty for vengeance she demands the heads of the murderers from Julian.But first, Julian must confront Chang, a mysterious retired policeman – and figurehead of a divine justice – who has resolved to scourge the corrupt underworld of brothels and fight clubs.
We’ve got the three character posters from the film; check them out in the gallery below. “Only God Forgives” comes to theaters nationwide July 19.
