Nicolas Winding Refn's DRIVE Hits Some Dangerous Curves!
Beaks here...
Nicolas Winding Refn is rounding up a killer cast for his U.S. studio debut.
The director of the well-worth-watching PUSHER trilogy, BRONSON and VALHALLA RISING has just added MAD MEN's Christina Hendricks to the cast of DRIVE. Based on a novel by James Sallis, the film will star Ryan Gosling as a Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a wheelman in the L.A. criminal underworld. When a particular job goes down twisted, he's forced to protect the endangered girlfriend (Carey Mulligan) of an ex-con.
Hendricks's role in the action film is not specified, but she'll be joining the estimable likes of Bryan Cranston and Albert Brooks. Here's hoping she gets some sack-time with Brooks, whose hirsute lovemaking technique has been sadly missed since MODERN ROMANCE.
Marc Platt (SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD) and a lot of other people are producing.

Every time she walks onscreen in mad men I forget what was happening before she came in.
-
But loooove Christina Hendricks. Kept one eye on her since she was Ms. Mal Raynolds in Firefly. One smokin example of how hot a redhead can be (when she's not covered in Alien Nation-like splotches like Lindsay Lohan)
-
That is all.
-
And they are 100% real just like Harry's
-
in the same way that Keira Knightley tried to convince us she was a bounty hunter in that godawful Domino.
-
That movie is the tits.
-
Is that the Mark Dacascos Drive you are referring to?
-
not your father's invisible girl.

Or that show Fox pulled after 3 episodes called Drive...
by harryknowlesnonexistentinceptionreview
...abou the mysterioso road race with that cute ditsy chick from Two and a Half Men and The Grim Reaper of TV and Movie Franchises, the one and only Nathan Fillian.
-
Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Strange, Christina Hendricks as Clea, Tom Hardy as Baron Mordo. That would rock.
-
Oh man look at that body.
-
I saw that movie six times in the first six days after is aw it for the first time. That movie is mesmeric. And it has as protagonist the most awesome badass i have seen since... ages!
-
not an anorexic beanstalk like 95% of the actresses out there (ScarJo excluded)
-
The news on this film gets better every day.
-
I think our collective male heads would explode. But what a way to go.
-
But props nonetheless.
-
Let's hope she gets them out on film before they're hanging around her kneecaps!
-
AssyMuffLives is talking about a Viking picture! SHOWS WHAT KIND A MAN HE IS!!! CHOPPED
-
I agree!
-
It was a funky story with some wild ideas and characters thrown in at breakneck speed. The movie script almost writes itself.
I have no idea if Nicolas Refn's going to hit a home run with this, but I'm hoping he'll at least smack a triple. Casting Christina Hendricks is a great move in that direction. Because in addition to inhabiting those famous curves, she's a terrific actress who'll bring A LOT to whichever smarmy backlot character she's given.
I mean, there are scenes where crews are shooting movies, so maybe she'll play one of the on-set movie stars?
Hoo boy, if that's the case.
I'm definitely looking forward to this film. -
its that little squirly guy in the elevator in Devil. WTF how did he score that one.
-
a great Rangiku.
-
American martial arts movie ever made. Just saying. Refn can hardly do anything wrong in my eyes but whoever called his movie Drive should get something driven through his arsehole.
-
nice work Beaks
-
THAST'S what a woman should look like!
-
she's a hot redhead with huge breasts. people need to stop congratulating hollywood for finally valuing a real woman, blah blah blah. this woman is a knockout, she's not some plane jane that got by on amazing acting chops rather than just being stunning with a gigantic chest. she's not skinny, sure. but it's amazing how far magazines and articles will bend, trying to justify shoving her huge tits at their readers and pretending she's the antidote to some traditional hollywood blah blah blah. I hate the anorexic trend in fashion and movies as well, but let's not pretend this woman is representing much except for gigantic tits. she's not Kathy Bates.
-
But I generally don't think of Hendricks in that Hollywood context. To me, regardless of profession, she's just hot. Gorgeous, intelligent, and jaw-droppingly curvy.
The fact she can act so well only increases her appeal. I remember seeing her first few minutes on "Firefly," and was like, "Holy shit, who's that?"
And she hasn't disappointed. Almost effortlessly she's stepped up and done her thing, winning a few awards in the process.
So I would say she's more than just "gigantic tits."
A lot more. The size (and amazing shape) of her tits centers her appeal, I agree, but she's the total package.
She's not simply a hot chick with marginal acting skills, more an extremely good actress who happens to be hot and endowed.
It's not a package that happens very often. Thus I enjoy what she brings to the table. -
that other car flick with Nicolas Cage

Absolute Sex Bomb
-
My God... they're the size of stars...
-
I was only speaking about her physicality. I think she's a great actress. I was just commenting on how congratulatory people are about her body. Look how many people above are like, "See, Hollywood? This is how a real woman looks!" Really? Ever been to a supermarket? See many Christina Hendricks's?She's a buxom, hollywood actress. just because she's not Keira Knightley, doesn't mean she's any more of a "real woman". she's still in the top .05% of humanity in terms of attractiveness. and when people imply that Hollywood is somehow being gutsy by allowing her to have success, it's ludicrous. she's a red-headed Jayne Mansfield, for fuck's sake!

There's a cool bit of news just out that Mark Dacascos (who has just finished a movie called Song Of The Knife) is teaming-up with Drive director Steve Wang to make a new sci-fi actioner, maybe in 3D, called Man Of Action. I can't wait to see Dacascos kicking ass in three dimensions! Here's a link to the news: http://twitchfilm.net/news/2010/03/mark-dacascos-returns-to-martial-arts-action-in-song-of-the-knife.php

If that link doesn't work, just google something like: Mark Dacascos & Steve Wang
-
She's not even a redhead. So she's hot with huge breasts.
-
if Nic Roeg was directing. Add Hendricks, then we'd have something.
-
I think I would marry her and my girlfriend would let me as long as she gets a piece too. Plus she is a terrific actress. A nude scene would be almost too much. How amazing would they be? I cannot imagine. Her breasts may be even bigger than Harry's! And my bet would be they are much nicer.
Also Mark Dacascos' Drive was RAD! Some great martial arts in a crap movie equals a good time for me.
PS- The_CHOPPAH sucks on his own chopped off penis. Just thought I would get him started.

...but he did fumble the ball a little with VR.
