The story looks uber stylized and violent, much like Refn’s previous film, Drive, which makes it all the more exciting. Today, we got a new poster released for the film which looks equally cool and has us even more pumped for its release in theaters July 19th.
Hit the jump for the poster and synopsis.
Julian (Gosling) lives in exile in Bangkok where he runs a Thai boxing club as a front for the family’s drugs smuggling operation. When Julian’s brother Billy is killed, their mother, Jenna (Kristen Scott Thomas), arrives in the city. She wants revenge and forces Julian to find the killer. Julian’s contacts in the criminal underworld lead him directly to The Angel of Vengeance, a retired police officer who knows everything and who is both Judge and Punisher. Jenna demands that Julian kill The Angel of Vengeance, an act that will cost him dearly.
