A trailer for The Place Beyond The Pines, the latest Ryan Gosling movie, has just hit the web and it’s looking pretty impressive to us. Starring Gosling’s off-screen squeeze as his on-screen love interest (that’s Eva Mendes, if you weren’t sure) and also starring Bradley Cooper and Rose Byrne, The Place Beyond The Pines tells the tale of a motorcycle stunt rider who turns to crime, in order to provide for his wife and child.

If that sounds familiar in some way, that may be because Gosling recently impressed the movie-loving world with his performance in Drive in which he played a stunt car driver, who, erm, gets himself in a heap of criminal trouble when he tries to help out a neighbour (who he just happens to be a little bit in love with). Still, there are obvious differences, we promise. The Place Beyond The Pines is directed by Blue Valentine producer Derek Cianfrance and features Gosling as a bleach-blonde adventure-seeker, covered in tattoos and trying to figure out the best way to raise his young child.

The Place Beyond The Pines is scheduled for release in April 2013 and in the mean time, you can catch Gosling in Gangster Squad, which is scheduled for release in January 2013. Gangster Squad was originally scheduled for an earlier release but revisions were made to the movie in the wake of the Colorado Batman shootings.
