I watched Drive the other day and it made me so much more excited to see what Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling have up their sleeve next with Only God Forgives. Currently, I don't think there's a release date but the movie is in post production now.
According to a production synopsis, the film follows Julian, who runs a Thai boxing club as a front organization for his family's drug smuggling operation, as he is forced by his mother Jenna to find and kill the individual responsible for his brother's recent death.Gosling has described the script of Only God Forgives as "the strangest thing I've ever read and it's only going to get stranger."Like Drive, Only God Forgives was largely shot chronologically and scenes were often edited the day they were shotRefn drew a connection between Only God Forgives and Drive, saying that "[Only God Forgives] is very much a continuation of that language"—"[i]t's based on real emotions, but set in a heightened reality. It's a fairy tale."
