Maybe there were a few people who weren’t totally sold on the first trailer for Nicolas Winding Refn’s ONLY GOD FORGIVES. For those who didn’t dig it, what was it that underwhelmed you? Were you already not a fan of Refn’s work? Did the trailer not give you enough? Just wondering here.
Regardless of whether you are on board for this or not, you have to admit the first poster is pretty cool. I’d love to have a neon sign like that, except for the fact that it would probably scare the shit out of me. Can you imagine? You walk into a dark room then suddenly a neon sign with the face of the devil suddenly flickers for a second then the red glow starts to shine so brightly you’d think it was going to burst. Okay, maybe I couldn’t own a light like that.
Check out the poster below.
Synopsis: Julian (Ryan 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..
ONLY GOD FORGIVES will drop on July 19, 2013.
