“I’m nervous, but I’m more excited. We’ve been working on it for years now, and it’s only ever screened once,” Ryan Gosling told E! earlier this month, when his directorial debut "Lost River" screened at SXSW following its World Premiere at Cannes last spring. “So it’s nice to finally have our second screening and to just help the movie find its audience.” And indeed, while word was less than kind from the Croisette, interest has never wavered in Gosling’s film, and this new teaser will certainly keep that curiosity going.
Running three minutes long, and slightly NSFW due to one bloody face-peeling sequence, the preview introduces the main cast members (Christina Hendricks, Ben Mendelsohn, Saoirse Ronan, Eva Mendes, Matt Smith, and more) and provides no shortage of arresting imagery from the fantasy film. And that pulsating music? That’s courtesy of Johnny Jewel. You can hear a new track, "Shell Game," from his band Glass Candy, featured on the soundtrack. To wrap things up, a couple interviews from SXSW featuring Gosling, Ronan, and Iain De Caestecker.
"Lost River" opens in limited release on April 10th.
