Ryan Gosling teamed up with his “Drive” director Nicolas Winding Refn for the new crime thriller co-starring Kristin Scott Thomas, “Only God Forgives.” Gosling, Refn and Thomas spoke to CBSNews.com’s Ken Lombardi about their unconventional new project set in Bangkok, Thailand.
“For me the film was kind of like a video game,” Gosling said. “You know where like the central character isn’t really a character as much as an avatar for the audience. In ‘Drive,’ I was the driver and in this film I was the car. That’s how I looked at it.”
