Red Band Drive Trailer Crashes Online

_Ryan Gosling is behind the wheel_ We've had our Fast Fives and our Drive Angrys, but it's been a while since anyone delivered a properly grown-up car-chase movie. As if in answer to that very call then, here's the US trailer for Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive, which screeched through Comic-Con and pulled up at IGN. There's plenty of plot detail in amongst the action, so you'll easily glean from the clip that Ryan Gosling is a Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a wheelman for shady types until a heist goes awry and he finds himself with a price on his head. Advance word on this is strong. Whether this fairly conventional-looking trailer captures the mood and pacing of Refn's thriller, though, remains to be seen. Has the director of the eccentric Bronson and the mental Valhalla Rising really come up with a mainstream hit? The fact that Gosling's character is unnamed had us expecting an homage to Ryan O'Neal's taciturn turn in Walter Hill's The Driver, but even that doesn't seem particularly to be the case. There's dialogue here; there's plot; there's action; there's romance. There's also a very strong supporting cast, built out of Carey Mulligan, Ron Perlman, Bryan Cranston, Oscar Isaac, Christina Hendricks and an against-type Albert Brooks. UK audiences can take delivery of the full Drive package on September 23.
