FILM MAKERS
The Place Beyond The Pines is an American epic crime drama, directed by Derek Cianfrance with a screenplay by Cianfrance, Ben Coccio and Darius Marder from a story by Cianfrance and Coccio. The film tells three linear stories: Luke (Ryan Gosling), a motorcycle stunt rider who supports his family through a life of crime; Avery (Bradley Cooper), an ambitious policeman who confronts his corrupt police department; and two troubled teenagers (Emory Cohen and Dane DeHaan) who explore the aftermath of Luke and Avery’s actions fifteen years later. The supporting cast includes Eva Mendes, with Ben Mendelsohn, Rose Byrne, Mahershala Ali, Bruce Greenwood, Harris Yulin, and Ray Liotta. The soundtrack was composed by Mike Patton and included music by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt and Ennio Morricone.

Co-writer and director Derek Cianfrance says that his financier would give him the budget he wanted if he shrank the 158-page script to 120 pages. Without removing anything, he used a smaller font and extended the margins. He says no one noticed.

Erwin Urias performed the Globe Of Death stunt riding in the film for Gosling. Erwin is a 4th generation globe rider who has been preforming with his family since he was 14. The Urias Family still performs today in the original 16 foot diameter Globe that was built by their great-grandfather almost 100 years ago. Erwin’s son and daughter are now the 5th generation keeping the legacy alive with their family as the Urias Globe Of Death.
