Director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling’s first movie together was the insanely violent film, ‘Drive.’ They have teamed up again for another incredibly violent mvoie, this one a Bangkok-set thriller, ‘Only God Forgives.’

Gosling plays a drug kingpin tasked with avenging his brother’s death. The film, whose cast also includes Kristin Scott Thomas, arrives July 19, but you can exclusively check out the movie’s new teaser poster above. (And you can follow @RadiusTWC on Twitter to see an animated version, which will be released later today.)

Take a look at the poster — and the Only God Forgives red-band trailer — and tell us what you think.

Don’t call Ryan Gosling’s girlfriend “baby”!

According to the NY Post, Ryan Gosling and his girlfriend Eva Mendes were in NY to promote their new movie, “The Place Beyond the Pines,” when an unfortunate incident went down. The pair were at the Bowery Hotel on Friday when a fashion photographer shouted “Hey, baby!” at Mendes. Apparently Ryan completely went nuts, and “it got heated,” according to their source.

“Ryan got in the guy’s face and said, ‘Who are you calling baby?’ Eva had to jump in and calm everyone down before it came to fisticuffs. Ryan then made nice and shook the guy’s hand.” The couple, who quietly have been dating since September, worked to keep their privacy intact the night before during a Svedka-sponsored party for the flick, also at the hotel. Gosling brought his mother as his date and arrived and left separately from Mendes, says a source, with the actress turning up at the bash 45 minutes later than the rest of the cast. “I didn’t see Eva and Ryan interact once,” says the spy. “They stayed at opposite ends of the room from one another.” Gosling’s rep didn’t get back to us.

I think it’s kind of cute my little Ryan coming to the defense of his lady!

Nooooooooooooooo! Seriously? I can totally understand why someone would want to take a break from acting if…. say…. that someone wasn’t at the height of his career. I felt the same way when I read Leonardo DiCaprio was going to take a break. Why NOW Leo, why now!! I have the same feeling when I read this morning that Ryan Reynolds wants to – or neeeeeeeeeeeeeeds to take a break from acting.

Eva Mendes is set to star in boyfriend Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut, ‘How to Catch a Monster’.

According to reports, the actress, who has dated Gosling since 2011, has signed on to play the part of Cat. The character works at the “Big Bad Wolf Club” in the movie, a fetish club.

Gosling’s co-star from “Drive,” Christina Hendricks, will star as Billy, a single mom of two kids who also works at the fetish club.

Gosling also wrote “How to Catch a Monster,” which has been described as a macabre and dark story blending elements of horror, suspense and fantasy. The film applied for tax credits through the Michigan Film Office to shoot in Detroit this May.

Producer Marc Platt told Indiewire that Gosling “has composed a beautifully haunting script and has a very clear vision of how he will bring it to life. His ability to draw audiences into his world as an actor will serve him well as a filmmaker.”

A website, howtocatchamonstercasting.com, says the movie is currently casting for three male roles: teenager Bones, young Frankie, and an actor with an extremely uncommon face to play the part of a young man aptly named, “Face.” It’s Bones who finds a secret road that leads to an underwater city in the script.

Mendes, who was last seen in “Holy Motors,” will have two movies released in 2013: “The Place Beyond The Pines,” which debuted at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, and “Clear History,” an HBO movie scripted by “Curb Your Enthusiasm” creator Larry David.

When are these two going to get married, already!?

People Magazine is devoting their new issue to Ryan Gosling. The ‘Gangster Squad’ actor has been named ‘America’s Most Wanted Man’ (even though the guy is Canadian, we’ll let it slide). The cover coincides with the release of his new movie, which I’ve got my fingers crossed is half decent. I do wonder how a movie with so much talent can go wrong, but it happens A LOT.

Devoted son, quirky leading man – and everyone’s favorite fantasy boyfriend.

But how does Ryan Gosling stack up in his real-life romance with actress Eva Mendes?

The “hey girl” Internet obsession, 32, “is an incredibly sweet boyfriend,” a Gosling source tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. He and Mendes, 37, “get along so well because she’s not needy or smothering,” says another insider. “They just work.”

Mendes is hardly the only one to fall under Gosling’s spell. The former Mouseketeer – who brought his mom, Donna, as his date to the Jan. 7 Gangster Squad premiere in L.A. – is “funny and charming,” says the film’s director, Ruben Fleischer.

“When you’re with him you feel different. He has a magnetic quality – larger than life.”

And yes, he knows how to work his quirks – everything from self-designed tattoos to an enduring Disneyland fascination.

“Women love him because he’s just kooky,” says the insider. “He’s definitely in touch with his childlike side.”

Speaking of talented actors coming together for a crappy movie, have any of you seen the trailer for ‘Movie 43′?? I am absolutely FLABBERGASTED (yes, flabbergasted) by this movie. I feel like someone should pinch me. It’s a joke, right? The trailer is fake. Please tell me that’s not a real movie. Please tell me Halle Berry did NOT just stick a turkey baster full of God-knows-what up her hootenanny in a restaurant. Does the director have dirt on all these actors? Have they been blackmailed? How many Oscar-winners are in this film? I spot at least 4! SERIOUSLY.

What on earth kind of suit is he wearing!? Is he TRYING to look ugly? What a horrific color is that! Sale on aisle 9?
