Thanks to the fact that my Blu-ray copy of Drive arrived this week, I am having serious Nicolas Winding Refn cravings. Unfortunately, while the Danish filmmaker is currently in production his next film, Only God Forgives, it's still at least a few months off (it sadly doesn't have a release date yet). So what's a guy to do? The answer just might be the UK remake of Refn's first film, Pusher. While the director is only serving as executive producer on the project - scripting and directing duties have gone to Matthew Read and Luis Prieto, respectively - it is the film closest to distribution with his name on it, so that will have to do. While the movie isn't out yet, though, we did receive a brand new quad poster, which you can scope out below.

This poster actually reminds me a lot of the artwork for The Devil's Double and in no way is that a bad thing. I love the energy that comes with the flashing lights and the purple/black contrast is really cool. Finally there's the reflection in the sunglasses, which actually manages to avoid that horrible Photoshop look that we usually see in posters. All around this is an awesome poster.
Starring Richard Coyle, Bronson Webb, Neil Maskell, Agyness Deyn, Mem Ferda, Paul Kaye, and Daisy Lewis, the story follows a drug pusher living in London for a full week as his life turns into chaos after a deal goes wrong.
