“So that was the idea-to create a movie about traveling into something I didn’t know.” “I wanted to live the life of a European filmmaker in Los Angeles, coming to a city that I didn’t know, that I only knew from cinema and mythology,” Refn recalls in his interview with Movieline. One of the reasons Refn agreed to direct Drive was because its setting is in L.A. In addition to the understated, top-notch acting caliber of its two main stars Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan, Drive has another winning combination - its minimal but effective script, its pulsating Eurovision soundtrack of synth-based melodies, and its haunting film locations … showcasing the gritty, real-life neighborhoods of Los Angeles rarely mentioned in guide books. The movie (screenplay by Hossein Amini) is based on the 2005 James Sallis pulp-novel of the same name. However, the project has not posted any updates on its Facebook page since 2021.Even though it has been snubbed by the Oscars this year, Drive - the “fairytale” stylishly directed by Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn - is still one of my top 5 favorite 2011 films. In 2020, a new-year round theater, The River Drive-In Movie Theater, was announced for Wethersfield. "We can't wait to get this place back up and running for you all." "There is a lot to do to ensure the safety of this wonderful space," The Pleasant Valley Drive-in wrote on Facebook.
