Trailer

Starring:
Iain De Caestecker
Christina Hendricks
Saoirse Ronan
Matt Smith
Ben Mendelsohn
Eva Mendes

Writer & Directer:
Ryan Gosling

Cinematographer:
Benoît Debie

Release Date:

April 10th in Limited Theaters and Digital Release

Plotline from IMDB:

A single mother is swept into a dark underworld, while her teenage son discovers a road that leads him to a secret underwater town.

I'm shocked how great his looks visually, Cannes reviews were very harsh about the film.

 

[ezekial45]

It looks interesting. It's certainly a pretty movie. However, I checked out some of the reviews and I read by far the best line from a very scathing review.

[Ryan Gosling] "confuses 'making film' with 'assembling Tumblr of David Lynch & Mario Bava gifs'"

I mean, damn. That's harsh.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I'd like to imagine that he stared at the camera while filming in the typical ryan gosling way.

shiiiiiiiit. Damn.

Was just about to post something like this. I hope there's a vinyl release.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

I remember the scathing reviews this film got at festivals. The trailer didn't look half bad.

 

[Opinionatedfish]

In it for the music.

Also, I want to see what Ryan Gosling does with this film.

Yeah, it looks like it is trying too hard... but.. I dunno.. maybe I just want to see it try to hard.

 

[JaseC]

I don't have high hopes after the merciless beating it received at Cannes last year, but Ronan's involvement is enough for me to give it a chance.

As an aside, I prefer the film's original title (How to Catch a Monster).

Same.

 

[Magwik]

Look at my muscles

 

[UrbanRats]

Still looks more interesting than Levitt's debut.

I'll keep an eye on this, since even something as messy (and as hated) as Only God Forgives, was worth the watch for me.

 

[Apt101]

Kind of hard to take Matt Smith seriously as a tough guy when he looks like a queef could bowl him over. I like the look and premise, I'm going to watch it.

 

[wedward]

Trailer was fucking great.

It'll probably suck, but at least we will always have that trailer.

 

[Bloodrage]

Yeah this looks awesome as shit. Really well-edited trailer.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

I actually liked Only God Forgives, so I'm up for anything.

More weirdness for the people!

Also, Chromatics rock.

 

[hal9001]

The cinematography alone looks gorgeous. One of my most anticipated films this year.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Now I really want to see this.

 

[Secret Fawful]

[Ryan Gosling] "confuses 'making film' with 'assembling Tumblr of David Lynch & Mario Bava gifs'"

I mean, damn. That's harsh.

Sounds like my kind of movie.

 

[Tengrave]

Wow, thank you GAF. Almost forgot about this one. I thought Matt Smith was talking about this almost years ago now.

 

[Dennis]

I want to see this.

 

[strafer]

Ryan Gosling channeling Terrence Malick with those shots.

 

[RedAssedApe]

i have no idea what i just wanted but....hey girl

 

[VARIA]

I'm pretty excited to see this. Even more so knowing it was panned at Cannes. Many of my favorite films were booed at Cannes.

[Helmholtz]

Looks very influenced by Refn and Malick. I'm definitely curious, but those early impressions from critics have certainly tempered my expectations a bit.

 

[Roberto Duran]

Is the soundtrack done by the Italians Do it Better label?

 

[Reckoner]

I don't have high hopes after the merciless beating it received at Cannes last year, but Ronan's involvement is enough for me to give it a chance.

As an aside, I prefer the film's original title (How to Catch a Monster).

Ronan will be also featured in the movie's soundtrack somehow. I bet that you won't want to miss that.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I'm so in.

 

[Kaladin]

Soooooo is it post apocalyptic or not?

it seems like it could be, but I'm not sure.

 

[lamaroo]

Looks gorgeous.

They boo because its what they do (o).

 

[Akahige]

8. Marie Antoinette
9. Southland Tales
11. Taking Woodstock
14. The Brown Bunny

Well at least they got a few right.

 

[-Mikey-]

I'm in for the soundtrack and nice shots from that trailer. Like someone else said, I dug Only God Forgives and Beyond The Black Rainbow.

Bring on the weird.

 

[HuskerDutheDu]

I was wondering what happened with this. Loved the trailer a lot.

 

[Protag]

Listened to a track from Jonny Jewel/Chromes, loved itttt

 

[JaseC]

Ronan will be also featured in the movie's soundtrack somehow. I bet that you won't want to miss that.

Yeah, I read about that last night. Curiouser and curiouser!

 

[Mix Master]

what a good fucking trailer

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

I don't have high hopes after the merciless beating it received at Cannes last year, but Ronan's involvement is enough for me to give it a chance.

As an aside, I prefer the film's original title (How to Catch a Monster).

The real monster turns out to be Gosling and the audience is the hunter!

Yeah, I read about that last night. Curiouser and curiouser!

oooh.

 

[a secret-boss]

Matt Smith looks better here than his Terminator appearance

 

[The Illiterati]

Looking forward to this, looking forward to anything that isn't bland and boring like the majority of 2014.

 

[Qblivion]

[Ryan Gosling] "confuses 'making film' with 'assembling Tumblr of David Lynch & Mario Bava gifs'"

This sounds relevant to my interests.

 

[SJRB]

Visually amazing, but looks like two movies mashed into one. Also feel like the trailer gives way too much away.

Music is awesome, too. Some of Refn's style rubbed off on Gosling, I guess.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Trailer gives me Only God Forgives vibes, in that it's all style no substance

 

[t1gerjaw]

Has 'cult classic' written all over it. Will definitely watch it, but seems weird just for the sake of being weird.

 

[Pryce]

This will look incredible on BR.

 

[dark_inferno]

Wow... Ryan Winding Gosling Refn has a new movie.

 

[immortal-joe]

It looks interesting. It's certainly a pretty movie. However, I checked out some of the reviews and I read by far the best line from a very scathing review.



I mean, damn. That's harsh.

Now you've gone and upset him. Thanks alot.

 

[Noisepurge]

Was just about to post something like this. I hope there's a vinyl release.

Is the soundtrack done by the Italians Do it Better label?

yes, and yes. Out March 30th.

 

[terrible]

Ryan Gosling channeling Terrence Malick with those shots.

The scene at the 30 second mark with the child in the grass definitely looks Malick-like at least.

 

[AlteredForms]

The funniest scene is where Matt Smith is telling everybody to "look at his muscles".
