Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn will shoot the neo-Western "Only God Forgives" this Summer in Asia reports The Playlist. As previously reported, the story follows a Thai police lieutenant who settles his rivalry with a gangster in Thai boxing matches. Refn will write, produce and direct the pic.
Refn revealed in February he had chosen the Ryan Gosling-led crime-noir Drive as his next pic and dropped out of two high-profile films to do it- Jekyll, the new spin on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novella "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" starring Keanu Reeves'" and The Dying Of The Light written by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver) with Harrison Ford.
"Drive", about a stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver, was supposed to shoot before 'God' which would've filmed later in the year. Now it seems 'God' will come first as Gosling is currently doing a Steve Carell comedy.
