I heard about this awhile back and although the basic premise sounds stupid, I have a strong feeling it will actually be quite good.

The premise doesn't do much for me but the last time these two worked together magic happened.
I'll be awaiting more information and a trailer.

Gosling: “It’s the strangest thing I’ve ever read and it’s only going to get stranger.”

I don't think I can buy Gosling with an English accent. Sounds like it would go over as well as Leo's South African accent in Blood Diamond.

Also..I think DiCaprio did fine. Got some S. African friends...they agreed that it was good. Not all of them sound like Wikus.

I didn't expect DiCaprio to sound like Wikus of D9....the accent just didn't work for me IMO (and in a ton of other people's opinions). It felt like a guy faking an accent, didn't sound natural. Robert Downey Jr on the otherhand does a spot on perfect English accent. You'd never think the guy was American if you didn't know who he was.

yep. If this becomes a working team from now on...I'm very happy for them. I'd also like to get Mads back w/ Refn and to work w/ Hardy again.

Gosling was Refn's "In" into Hollywood, I think you'll see a few more collabs, and I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Hardy shows up in this movie, or Mads for that matter.

I hope so. I love Director/Actor teams. Especially when they're fucking great. Good thing Gosling chose Refn for Drive. Great choice, sir.

This also looks to be strong in the violence department like Drive. I honestly cannot fathom how that movie got an R and not an NC-17 or Unrated release.
