Nicolas Winding Refn
Drive blew me the f**k away. Seriously, it was one hell of a movie and it brought director Nicolas Winding Refn right into the spotlight.
The perfectly crafted and brilliantly executed film more than proved the Danish director’s talent. The slick and polished Drive is only one of the many bright spots on the director’s filmography though. Check out Bronson or Pusher, both further proof of his talent as a filmmaker.
Though there’s no chance that Refn would ever accept a project like Batman, we can still dream, right? The added level of visceral excitement and pure exhilaration that Refn could add to the franchise would be fantastic. Plus, we all know that he can get the best out of his actors. Ryan Gosling and Tom Hardy have both given their best work in Refn’s films.
A Refn directed Batman film would be something to behold. A dizzying, dazzling, brilliantly constructed film that doesn’t waste a frame. That sentence may not sound akin to modern day superhero films but would it be too ambitious to try and re-invent the genre? After all, Christopher Nolan did it.
Haven’t seen Refn’s Drive yet? Check out the awesome red band trailer below.
