DRIVE was considered by (many) critics as among the best movie of 2011 (even though I personally thought it was overrated). Despite being a festival darling (especially at Cannes), DRIVE has failed to make an impact as the movie managed only one Oscar nomination for Best Sound Editing. Now director Nicolas Winding Refn is currently hard at work on the Thailand-set ONLY GOD FORGIVES, in which he reunites with his DRIVE lead star Ryan Gosling. He is also recently given a brief interview regarding about the possibility of a sequel to DRIVE, in which I'm sure a lot of fans are eager to see whether Nicolas Winding Refn agrees to commit or not. Here's what he had to say below.
Well I think that… hmm. Let me just say that I haven’t made up my mind yet. Stranger things have happened…
As for now, it seems that Refn isn't keen to helm a sequel to DRIVE yet but at least there is still a slight chance he might do it sometimes in the future.
DRIVE, which was actually adapted from James Sallis's 2005 novel of the same name, has a follow-up novel called Driven. In the sequel, the story takes place six years after the events of the first book, and centers on someone who wants Driver (Gosling) dead.
