Movie Casting News: Carey Mulligan in talks to join Ryan Gosling in "Drive"

Risky Business reports that Carey Mulligan is joining Ryan Gosling (The Notebook) in the action thriller "Drive." Ryan Gosling previously co-starred with Carey's P&P/An Education co-star and good friend Rosamund Pike in the 2007 crime drama/thriller Fracture.

Here's part of the article from Risky Business over at THR:

“An Education” star Carey Mulligan is in negotiations to climb into the passenger seat of the action thriller “Drive,” which already has Ryan Gosling at the wheel. “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston is also negotiating to join the cast.

Nicolas Winding Refn (“Bronson”) is directing the adaptation of the James Sallis novel about a nameless Hollywood stuntman (Gosling) who moonlights as a freelance getaway driver during robberies. When a bank heist goes wrong, he ends up on the run with a contract on his head and an ex-con’s girlfriend (Mulligan) in his car.

OddLot Entertainment, Bold Films and Marc Platt Prods. are producing the project, which starts shooting around Los Angeles next month. Hossein Amini (“Killshot”) wrote the adapted screenplay. Read more here...
