Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #29. Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives
We often discuss performance, image, sound and a distinct voice in what makes the measures of a great film. Refn check-marked all these boxes when he made the cinematic wallop known as Drive. One of the highlights for 2011, the union between Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn might provide one more cinematic gem for 2012, that is if they get back together quick enough.

List Worthy Reasons…: We often discuss performance, image, sound and a distinct voice in what makes the measures of a great film. Refn check-marked all these boxes when he made the cinematic wallop known as Drive. One of the highlights for 2011, the union between Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn might provide one more cinematic gem for 2012, that is if they get back together quick enough. One more tough guy role is fine by us, but to be honest we’d prefer to see this in 2013 as Gosling is playing badboy part of Luke in Derek Cianfrance’s film and Sgt. Jerry in The Gangster Squad.
Release Date/Status?: Still in pre-production, if Gaumont want to get this into the 2012 calendar they’ll need to start filming very early. 2013 release is more probable.
