Eva Mendes is left bloodied and bruised in her boyfriend's movie.
This new movie Ryan Gosling directed is nothing like The Notebook. In fact, the surreal world in Lost River leaves his real-life girlfriend Eva Mendes bloodied and bruised.
In addition to casting his baby's mama, the Hollywood heartthrob also gave his Drive co-star Christina Hendricks a lead role in the fantasy thriller, which debuted its first trailer on Tuesday. The film follows the life of a single mother (Hendricks), who is swept into a dark underworld -- where she meets Cat (Mendes) -- while her teenage son Bones (Iain De Caestecker) discovers a road that leads him to a secret underwater town. Hanna actress Saoirse Ronan also plays Bones' young love interest.
"Is it dangerous?" Billy asks Cat after being introduced to the shady club. "If the door's locked you're fine," Cat replies.
