This episode of Revisited was Written by Cody Hamman, Narrated by Travis Hopson, Edited by Juan Jimenez, Produced by Adam Walton and Chris Bumbray, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Universal Pictures wanted a car chase spectacle that would appeal to fans of their Fast & Furious franchise. What director Nicolas Winding Refn and star Ryan Gosling delivered was something far from that. They made a fairy tale-inspired arthouse thriller with ‘80s vibes, a deliberate pace, and bursts of graphic violence. The film was the 2011 release Drive (watch it Here) – and it’s time for it to be Revisited.
Drive started as a crime novel that was written by James Sallis and published in 2005. If you’re familiar with the film adaptation, you’ll recognize characters and story elements in the book. It follows a man known only as Driver. He’s a stunt performer by day. At night he...

Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn is infamous for being one of the most provocative filmmakers working today, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that several of his favorite films are some of the most disturbing movies ever made. Over the years, Refn has given wide-ranging interviews that don’t hide the influences that have driven his feature films, from “Pusher” to “Bronson,” “Drive” to “Only God Forgives,” “The Neon Demon” and more.
Born in 1970, Refn made his directorial debut at 26 years old with “Pusher,” a violent crime thriller that introduced the cinematic world to the talents of Mads Mikkelsen. Two sequels followed in 2004 and 2005, and 1999’s “Bleeder” was another Copenhagen-set crime drama starring Mikkelsen. His initial excursions into English-language filmmaking, including the John Turturro-led “Fear X,” the Tom Hardy vehicle “Bronson,” and another Mikkelsen film “Valhalla Rising,” were all moderately well received, although most failed to entirely take...

I often start by saying that Second Sight give us the ability to revisit classics or discover diamonds we’ve not yet seen. With their Drive: Limited Edition, this has never been truer. Drive is a movie that doesn’t apologise for the violence on screen, and the characters that it shows.
When a mysterious Hollywood stuntman (Ryan Gosling) who moonlights as a getaway driver meets one of his neighbours (Carey Mulligan) a softer side of him is exposed. When her husband returns from jail and gets the driver into major conflict with the people he works for.
Ryan Gosling’s character is simply named The Driver, we never learn anything more about him. We do get to see what could be a softer side, but the fact is this...

In the 10 years since the release of Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive,” the lives of two key figures behind its pivotal soundtrack, Johnny Jewel and Cliff Martinez, have changed for the better, thanks to the film.
“Before ‘Drive’ coming out, I was standing by the freeway with a cardboard sign that said, ‘Will score for food,’” jokes “Drive’s” composer, Martinez, a sometimes drummer in Red Hot Chili Peppers, and one of Steven Soderbergh’s go-to composers. “I wasn’t exactly struggling, but I would go for months without work. My popularity ebbs and flows, but for the most part, I’m much more popular than I was before 2011.”
“For those of us in the underground, ‘Drive’ was huge,” says Jewel, who has two key songs on the soundtrack — “Tick of the Clock,” with his former band, the Chromatics, and “Under Your Spell” with his other band, Desire.
“’Drive’ is a niche film,...

An analytical mind can, and will, find patterns behind everything, whether they are there or not. It is one of the many reasons why films and other forms of fiction are so often dissected and recast to reveal hidden meanings and deeper truths, by those who would think a little too much, a little too hard. Often this behavior could easily be mistaken for paranoia, were it not for the nature of the subject they unravel. Some movies are custom built to be broken apart, like the works of Kubrick or Malick or Lynch. Numeracy and variety of interpretation are the reassuring signs that, no, you have not lost your mind. So it is always a little special when a film that on the surface bears no signs of ulterior motive becomes the subject of mass deconstruction by a plethora of critics, casuals, and the insane. Case in point would...

While writer/director Nicolas Winding Refn has spent the bulk of his career making films based on his own scripts, from the Pusher trilogy he made early in his career to the recently released Only God Forgives, that hasn't always exclusively been the case. Drive, the film many would consider the director's best work, was actually penned by screenwriter Hossein Amini based on the book by James Sallis - and now for Refn's next project he will once again be asking for outside help in the writing department. London's Evening Standard has learned that Polly Stenham, an up-and-coming playwright in the UK, has been tasked with writing the script for Refn's next work, an "all female horror film" that will be titled I Walk With The Dead. It would seem that at least part of the reason why the director has hired a female writer is because of his personal...

Nicolas Winding Refn has ruled out a movie sequel to Drive.
Author James Sallis, who wrote the novel upon which Refn's 2011 thriller was based, published his follow-up novel Driven last year.
Despite Sallis's claim that a movie adaptation of Driven is in the pipeline, Refn told The Playlist that the film will never be made.
"It's never gonna happen. The movie's not gonna get made, because they don't have the key elements," he said, referring to himself and lead actor Ryan Gosling.
Asked what advice he would give to the filmmakers if a sequel should go ahead with him, Refn responded: "Don't do it! Don't do it. Well, what would they do?"
Refn and Gosling's latest collaboration Only God Forgives opens in the UK on August 2, and in the Us on July 19.

Ryan Gosling's Drive character may return in a new movie, director Nicolas Winding Refn has revealed. The Danish filmmaker dismissed the idea of making a direct sequel to his and Gosling's 2011 cult hit, but suggested that the character could still have a future on the big screen. "[A sequel] is never going to happen," Winding Refn told the Evening Standard. "But the character of the Driver might return in another film. We're playing with that idea. We'll see what happens."

Director Nicolas Winding Refn won't do a sequel to Drive, but is exploring possible new spin-offs for the character of the Driver
Nicolas Winding Refn has both put the brakes on Ryan Gosling's enigmatic wheel-man from last year's Drive purring back onto the big screen, and fuelled speculation he's already drawn up a road map for his return.
"That is never going to happen," said Winding Refn, when asked by the Evening Standard about the possibility of a Drive sequel. "But the character of the Driver might return in another film. We're playing with that idea. We'll see what happens."
James Sallis, who wrote the novella on which the original film was based, has already published a sequel, Driven, which takes place seven years later. But Refn's comments suggest he might be unhappy with the steering Sallis's book puts on the Driver – and his girlfriend.

Drive was one of my favorite films of 2011, so when word came out that James Sallis, the writer of the book on which the movie is based, had a sequel book called Driven that would be made into a movie, I was excited about the opportunity for director Nicolas Winding Refn and star Ryan Gosling to reunite to bring us more stories in that world. But it looks like that won't happen...at least, not in a direct way.
Refn spoke with a newspaper called The Evening Standard (via The Playlist), saying "[a sequel directed by him and starring Gosling] is never going to happen. But the character of The Driver might return in another film. We're playing with that idea. We'll see what happens."
Hmm...so since Refn and Gosling love working together so much, would they dare do something as awesome as have The Driver show up in the background of another movie of theirs in which Gosling stars?...

James Sallis, author of the novel the film was based upon, had previously suggested a sequel was likely, having written a follow-up novel of his own named Driven, and claiming it was set to be converted into a movie. The novel picks up with the Driver having moved away from his old life and settled down with a woman he intends to marry. However,...

Back in June, author James Sallis was promoting his new book "Driven," which is a sequel to "Drive" that was adapted for the big screen with Ryan Gosling playing the lead role. Sallis confirmed that "Driven" will also be turned into a movie. But now comes word from director Nicolas Winding Refn that a sequel won't happen. "That is never going to happen. But the character of Driver might return in another film," he said. "We're playing with that idea. We'll see what happens." It's not clear which film Refn is talking about, but it sounds like there will be a completely unrelated movie that will check in on how Driver is doing years after the events in "Drive." In "Driven," Driver has left the old life and founded a successful business. But one day he's attacked and his fiancee is killed. Sinking back into anonymity, he finds that his...

What the hell is wrong with Nicolas Winding Refn? We all want to see Driven, don’t we? Such a logical thing – when you have one (hell of the) successful movie (and Drive was, and still is all that) you expect to see more of it, right?
And especially when you already have the leading star, Ryan Gosling, totally interested in the sequel! Or spin-off, or… look, whatever - just let Gosling drive!
Or, wait, maybe Gosling is not so interested in the whole thing after all? Speaking about the possible sequel, in a pretty weird interview, Winding Refn revealed:
“That is never going to happen. But the character of The Driver might return in another film. We’re playing with that idea. We’ll see what happens.”
Hope you’re confused just as much as we are at this moment.
But, don’t worry, it looks like they’re real mess as well!

Are you hoping to see Ryan Gosling slip on the scorpion jacket once again for a sequel to last year's cult classic "Drive"? You may have to wait some time.
Filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn tells The Burnley Citizen (via The Playlist) that while a direct sequel to the film will Not take place, the character may pop up in a different film… eventually.

If you were one of those people excited for a possible sequel to 2011′s ultra cool hit “Drive”, then you weren’t the only one. The film was a hit with audiences and critics, and really made Refn a name to watch Stateside. His latest is “Only God Forgives”, a Muay Thai action/crime movie set in Thailand that also stars his “Drive” leading man Ryan Gosling. But after that, perhaps a return to the neon glitz of L.A.? Maybe, maybe not. As you’ll recall, “Drive” author James Sallis has written a sequel to the first book called “Driven”. It picks up with Driver well after the L.A. incident, with a new batch of bad guys in our hero’s crosshairs after they kill the woman he loves. “Driven” is a direct sequel to “Drive”, so it stands to reason it would make a great sequel for Refn and Gosling.

It's been over a year since Nicolas Winding Refn's ultra-cool "Drive," hit theaters, and in that time, the Ryan Gosling movie has built up a serious following. So it probably came as welcome news to the fans when the author of "Drive," James Sallis, said that his follow-up "Driven" was being developed for movie treatment. Could this be a chance to recreate the Refn-Gosling magic from their first outing?
Not likely, Refn told the Evening Standard (via The Playlist). The Danish director has ruled out a sequel to "Drive," but oddly suggests that he could turn up in another film…that wouldn't be a sequel?

What's the difference between a sequel and spinoff? Sometimes it's just semantics. And while some may be clamoring for Ryan Gosling to put on the scorpion jacket and bust out a toothpick once again to play the enigmatic Driver, Nicolas Winding Refn has closed the door on a sequel...but not on the character reappearing on the big screen.

Ryan Gosling in a scene from Drive (2011).
America crime author James Sallis’ new book, entitled “Driven”, the sequel to “Drive” ― which was adapted for the big screen and starred Ryan Gosling in the lead role ― is also being developed as a feature film, reports The Independent.
The second book takes place seven years after the first. In the story, Driver has left his old life and founded a successful business. One day, however, he’s attacked and his fiancee is killed. Sinking back into anonymity, he finds that his past catches up with him and that he must face it.
“He is trying to suppress the violence―but the sequel shows the process of him accepting that this is who he is,” Sallis told The Independent. “He tries to become a normal person and re-invents himself. After his fiancee is killed, the violence is unleashed again.”

James Cameron figured it out back in 1986: just add an extra letter to the title of the first one and things will be all good. Crime novelist James Sallis is following the Aliens template with his latest novel, Driven, a sequel to Drive, which was made into a movie that starred Ryan Gosling and released last year. If you haven't seen Drive, you should; it's really good, and Gosling is great in it as the stunt driver-sometimes-getaway-driver. It's also brilliantly directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.
The novel Driven has just been published and Sallis is doing promotion for it. Giving an interview with The Independent newspaper, he dropped news that there's definite interest in making a movie from the book. What's less clear is who is giving the interest; Sallis only said "they", so anyone's guess is good. The producers of Drive? Gosling's people? Refn's agent? Hollywood in general?...

Let me start by saying I absolutely loved Drive (gave it the elusive 5 Abiding Dude rating in my review), from the brilliant opening scene to the best movie soundtrack I've heard since Snatch. It pained me to see director Nicolas Winding Refn not get an Oscar nomination for his work on this instant classic. However, I'd always hoped Drive would remain a stand alone movie (meaning no sequel, prequel, etc.). Apparently the Driver's journey will continue, not just in the James Sallis book "Driven", but on the big screen too.

James Sallis' novel "Drive" was turned into the acclaimed cult hit film last year starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.
Now, Sallis' book sequel "Driven" is out and he tells The Independent that a film version is "in the pipeline".
The book is set seven years later with Driver having reinvented himself and now living in Phoenix. He's also engaged to be married and is successfully suppressing his violent impulses. When two goons attack them and kill her, "the violence is unleashed again."
It took several years to get going but "Drive" pulled in $76 million from a $15 million budget along with scoring a high positioning on many Top Ten films of 2011 lists (including the #1 placing on my own).

Author James Sallis, who wrote the novel Drive, which inspired the Ryan Gosling/Nicolas Winding Refn film, has announced that his sequel Driven will also be adapted for the big screen. In stores now, Driven picks up "seven years after the events of "Drive" and our hero is now living in Phoenix under the name Paul West, and he's engaged to be married. However, when two goons attack him and his fiancée, leaving her dead, Driver is forced to face his past and seek vengeance."

Drive may soon be getting a sequel, according to the author of the original 2005 novel. James Sallis spoke to The Independent to discuss the hardback release of Driven, a direct sequel to Drive, and claimed that a movie version is "in the pipeline". He added that studio executives "love the book", and that while he was writing the book it was "difficult not to visualise Ryan Gosling playing the role". Sallis's 2005 book was adapted to the screen last year by Danish director Nicolas (more)...

Okay: Don’t get yourself into a fit of thrills right this instant. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that you loved Drive, nor would I doubt that you find yourself gripped by the mere idea of a sequel. But it’s not a guaranteed, confirmed, or even entirely plausible thing. So, let it just be said that Drive author James Sallis (everybody forgets the movie was based on a book) told The Independent (via ThePlaylist) that his own follow-up, Driven, has been entered into “the movie pipeline.”
Whose pipeline? Where is this pipeline even located? Well, we don’t know. I shudder to think of a Drive sequel that isn’t directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and doesn’t star Ryan Gosling — which is my way of saying that they have to do it, or no deal — yet the latter’s always getting something thrown his way,...

It was just about this time last year when the buzz around Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive" was beginning to build and make serious noise. The picture had just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to rapturous reviews, going on to earn Refn Best Director honors. And the film managed a modest, but no less impressive $76 million worldwide at the box office when it opened along with instant cult status. Ryan Gosling solidified himself as a leading man, and Refn as an auteur of the highest order. And it seems our adventures with Driver may not be over...

James Sallis has lately been getting the attention his many fans feel he deserves. His last novel, The Killer Is Dying, was met with rave reviews, and even more attention-getting was Nicolas Winding Refn’s film adaptation of Sallis’ 2005 novel, Drive. Starring Ryan Gosling and featuring stand-out performances by Albert Brooks, Bryan Cranston, and Carey Mulligan, Drive brought both Refn and Sallis further into the American mainstream.
Thing is, Sallis seems he would be happy either way.
Take for instance this little anecdote he shares with The Daily Beast: after the success of the film Drive, his agent calls and asks if he has a sequel to the book in the works, the implication of a possible film sequel obvious. Sallis, being an “artiste,” gives her a resounding no. Then, after hanging up, he cannot get the “image of a woman leaning against a wall, bleeding out” out of his mind.

We're just a few days away from the Oscars, and it's not long before we find out who are going to be the big winners and losers. But at this time of year, it's important not to forget those who slipped through the cracks: there were films released in 2011 that weren't "The Artist," after all.
As we've discussed many times in the past, the Oscars are not necessarily decided on merit. Politics, lack of momentum, no one seeing your film -- all these elements can lead to a seemingly deserving person being overlooked by the Academy. As part of our continuing coverage in the run up to Sunday night, we've picked out ten below-the-line (e.g. directing, writing and technical categories) nods that, while not necessarily more deserving than those who ended up with nominations, deserved to have been in the conversation more. And keep your eyes peeled: a little later,...

The Director of 2008's Bronson and 2009's Valhalla Rising, Nicolas Winding Refn, returns with equally dark blood-soaked subject-matter in his slick adaptation of James Sallis's 2011 book, Drive.
Winding Refn instantly gets our attention with a masterfully choreographed opening title sequence introducing his nameless hero. Giving his criminally-minded “clients” a rigid “five minute window”, he acts as getaway driver using the police radio frequency to monitor their detection. His is a precise operation, silently and calmly undertook without conversing with passengers. Amplified sounds of the city - radios, helicopters, sirens and the car engine's roar - nicely contrast with the silence as our hero and his load hide-out under arches. A final police chase is accompanied by edgy suspense-building electronic music and loud radio sports commentary before we're allowed to delve further into this mysterious driver's life.

Nicolas Winding Refn Talks Drive 2
Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn is considering filming a sequel to his acclaimed crime thriller. The Golden Globe-nominated movie was based on a 2005 book of the same name by James Sallis. The writer is releasing the sequel to the novel, Driven, later this year, which the director would adapt as the original film's follow-up.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy; Drive; Crazy Stupid Love; What's Your Number?
A sound somewhere between a muffled cheer and a collective sigh of relief could be heard echoing around the hushed corridors of the "British film industry" last Tuesday when the brilliant Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011, Optimum, 15) received at least some of the recognition that it so richly deserved at the Oscar nominations.
Having been first snubbed by the unaccountable bozos of the increasingly embarrassing Golden Globes and then feted by the far more discerning voters of Bafta, Tomas Alfredson's low-key masterpiece walked away from round one of the Academy Awards with three significant nominations to its name: best actor for Gary Oldman (amazingly, his first sniff of Oscar glory); best music for Alberto Iglesias; and a posthumous adapted screenplay nod for Bridget O'Connor, whose partner in crime, Peter Straughan, deserves to carry off the statuettes on both their behalfs come awards night.

Italians Do It Better man was everyone's first choice to soundtrack the Ryan Gosling vehicle, but then things took a wrong turn
One day in September 2010, Johnny Jewel arrived in Los Angeles, chiefly to play a show with his bands Chromatics and Glass Candy, but also to make an appointment. Attending that evening's concert were the Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn and the actor Ryan Gosling. Jewel and Refn were already familiar – the Dane had used the Glass Candy song Digital Versicolor on the score to 2009's Bronson – but now the director wanted to talk to Jewel about a new collaboration.
Refn and Gosling had been driving the streets of La at night scouting locations for their upcoming feature, the tale of a stuntman-turned-getaway driver, and Chromatics' 2007 LP Night Drive had been a fixture on the stereo. Refn had decided that Chromatics' translucent, noir-ish disco was the perfect fit for his stylish wheelman fable,...

Literary adaptations look set to sweep the board in Hollywood this year
Six of the nine nominations announced this week for Best Picture are based on books, reflecting a recent pattern in which the Oscar lists have consistently and gratifyingly affirmed cinema's dependence on literature. Apart from a modest lurch towards originality in 2010, the previous five years saw line-ups in which half or more of the shortlistees were adaptations, including the winners No Country for Old Men (2008), Slumdog Millionaire (2009) and The King's Speech (2011).
It's not classic novels that attract movie-makers. Of the books turned into nominated films this time, only Michael Morpurgo's War Horse (1982) was not published in the noughties. The others are Brian Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret (filmed as Hugo), Jonathan Safran Foer's 9/11 novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Moneyball by Michael Lewis (the second non-fiction sports title by him in three years to generate a Best Picture nominee,...

To celebrate the release of Drive on Blu-ray and DVD on January 30th, we have 2 stylish Drive T-shirts and 4 copies of the brilliant novel written by James Sallis up for grabs.
Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. Though a loner by nature, Driver can’t help falling in love with his beautiful neighbour Irene (Carey Mulligan), a vulnerable young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband Standard (Oscar Isaac).
After a heist intended to pay off Standard’s protection money spins unpredictably out of control, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals (Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman). But when he realizes that the gangsters are after more than the bag of cash in...

"I learned a long time ago not to think about (awards recognition), because if you do, you go crazy," Nicolas Winding Refn tells Gold Derby. "You can only make the movie you want to make, and hopefully it will be appreciated." Indeed, the director's existentialist crime thriller "Drive" has been greatly appreciated, earning critical acclaim (79 score at Metacritic) plus nominations for Best Picture and Best Director from the Critics' Choice Awards. Last May, Winding Refn won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, where he competed against international heavyweights like Terrence Malick, Pedro Almodovar, and his fellow Dane Lars von Trier, for whom Winding Refn's father, Anders Refn, works as an editor. But it was a long road from page to screen for the film, which began as a 2005 novel by James Sallis. Universal Studios was initially set to produce, at which time the film was intended to be a large-scale action.

Arthouse meets action in Nicolas Winding Refn's uber-stylised Drive, in which Ryan Gosling plays a Los Angeles loner who moonlights as a getaway driver.
Ultra-violent and yet elegant and character driven at the same time, some believe it's in line for recognition on Oscar night. We'll know in the new year if it's been nominated but it certainly put Gosling on the global radar and, in the meantime, it will steer on to Blu-ray, DVD and digital dowload on January 30.
Announcing the release, Icon Home Entertainment said: "Since its worldwide premier at the Cannes International Film Festival in May 2011, where Winding Refn claimed the prestigious Best Director award, Drive has wowed audiences and critics alike.

2011 was one of the best years for film in recent years. There are about 25 films that could have made my top ten list and each film in my top 5 could be my number one. I saw about 100 films this year and I still wish I could have seen more. I feel very comfortable with my top ten and I feel like it was a good representative of the year in film. However I do feel that people looking at this article should go over to Sound On Sight and see all the staff’s individual lists, as well as the honorable mentions that just missed my list. You will find a great collection of films on those lists.

Many may not know that Ryan Gosling's "Drive" is based on a book by James Sallis. Now that the film has become a modest hit and will likely get recognized during awards season, Sallis decided to write a sequel, called "Driven." Sallis confirmed the news, stating that the book will be out in April. Poisoned Pen Press refused to put out a full-length plot synopsis, but did release a brief one. "Six years later - Phoenix. Out of nowhere someone wants Driver dead. Who? Why? Big mistake..." There's no word whether the book will also be turned into a feature film, but I believe many would agree that a sequel to "Drive" movie is not necessary. It felt just right as a stand-alone story. Question: Are you interesting in seeing Gosling return for "Drive" sequel?...
