In the last two years, Ryan Gosling has played an unsuspecting murderer, a painter, a stunt driver, and a political campaign staffer. In his next movie, "The Place Beyond the Pines," Gosling will hop on a motorcycle to play professional motorcycle stunt rider Jake.
Here's the synopsis from IMDB:
"A motorcycle stunt rider considers committing a crime in order to provide for his wife and child, an act that puts him on a collision course with a cop-turned-politician."
The movie will be directed by Derek Ciafrance, who directed Gosling in the dark "Blue Valentine" in 2010.
Bradley Cooper will play the rookie cop who tries to stop Gosling, while Eva Mendes will play Gosling's lady friend.
"The Place Beyond the Pines" doesn't have a release date yet, but it's expected to be out in 2013.
