Ryan Gosling trades in his fast muscle car from Drive for an even faster dirt bike in the crime thriller The Place Beyond the Pines.

Pines re-teams Gosling with Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance for a movie that serves almost as an unofficial sequel to 2011’s Drive.

Gosling plays Luke, a motorcycle stuntman who turns to bank robbing to help make ends meet. That doesn’t sit too well with Bradley Cooper’s character, a rookie cop tasked with taking Luke down.

Joining the two are Eva Mendes, Ray Liotta and Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man 2).

A lucky few got a chance to see Pines when it screened last September at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it earned considerable praise. The film’s March 29 release date can’t get here fast enough.
