Only God Forgives (Ryan Gosling, directed by Nicolas Winding Rifn)
From http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/first-l...-god-forgives/
It was announced via press release earlier today that new Weinstein Company label Radius-TWC would be handling distribution of Only God Forgives, the upcoming reteaming of Drive star and director Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn respectively. Along with the announcement production company Wild Bunch has revealed a first look image of Gosling in the film, which is currently in production in Bangkok, Thailand.
Wild Bunch also offers this lengthy synopsis:
Bangkok. Ten years ago Julian (Gosling) killed a cop and went on the run. Now he manages a Thai boxing club as a front for a drugs operation. Respected in the criminal underworld, deep inside, he feels empty.
When Julian's brother murders a prostitute the police call on retired cop Chang – the Angel of Vengeance. Chang allows the father to kill his daughter's murderer, then 'restores order' by chopping off the man's right hand.
Julian's mother Jenna – the head of a powerful criminal organization – arrives in Bangkok to collect her son's body. She dispatches Julian to find his killers and 'raise hell'.
Increasingly obsessed with the Angel of Vengeance, Julian challenges him to a boxing match, hoping that by defeating him he might find spiritual release.. but Chang triumphs. A furious Jenna plots revenge and the stage is set for a bloody journey through betrayal and vengeance towards a final confrontation and the possibility of redemption.

Sorry for the duplicate thread and the misspelling of the director's name. Please delete as per KillerCannibal, the DVD Talk Legend.
