Ryan Gosling stars in gorgeous new poster for Only God Forgives

Only God Forgives has released a brand new poster online, featuring a brooding Ryan Gosling illuminated by the neon glow of Bangkok.

The new poster is nearly as iconic as the Drive artwork, with Gosling looking both handsome and menacing in equal measure. Take a good look now, as he gets steadily more battered and bruised as the movie progresses…

Gosling plays Julian, the owner of a Thai boxing club in Bangkok, which also serves as a front for his family's drug-smuggling business.

All is running smoothly until his brother is murdered by a ruthless police lieutenant, and Julian's fearsome mother (Kristin Scott Thomas) descends upon the Thai capital in search of revenge.

Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and co-starring Vithaya Pansringarm, Only God Forgives will open in the US on 19 July 2013, before opening in the UK on 2 August 2013.
