Film Preview: The Place Beyond the Pines

An impressive cast comes together for The Place Beyond the Pines, a crime drama directed by Derek Cianfrance who is mostly know for the film Blue Valentine that also starred Ryan Gosling and was a heart-breaking tale of a marriage that was failing. In a much different project here, Cianfrance filmed in Schenectady in New York state which is a place that in English actually means The Place Beyond the Pines.

The film follows a motorcycle stunt rider (Gosling) who decides to venture into crime to provide for his wife and children, this puts him at odds with a policeman turned politician played by Bradley Cooper. Eva Mendes plays Gosling wife whilst Rose Byrne stars as Cooper's wife whilst Ray Liotta also looks his menacing self in a film that has a lot of promise looking at the trailer.

The Place Beyond the Pines is released in the UK on the 12th April 2013 and the trailer is embedded below:
