''Drive'' is a short-lived American action drama television series created by Tim Minear and Ben Queen, produced by Minear, Queen, and Greg Yaitanes, and starring Nathan Fillion, four episodes of which aired on the Fox network in April 2007. Two unaired episodes were later released directly to digital distribution.

The series is set across the backdrop of an illegal automobile road race with the central focus being on the unwitting competitors and, as the plot develops, the unseen puppet masters who sponsor the race. Minear has described the show's thematic tone by saying "a secret, illegal, underground road race can be anything from ''Cannonball Run'' to ''The Game'' to ''North by Northwest'' to ''Magnolia''-on-wheels. Ours is all those things."

''Firefly'' and ''Serenity'' star Nathan Fillion, a longtime friend of series creator Tim Minear, plays the lead role of Alex Tully. Ivan Sergei played Tully in the unaired pilot.

The show premiered on April 13, 2007 on CTV in Canada. It debuted in the United States on April 15, 2007 on Fox, and moved into its regular time slot on Mondays the next day; in that slot it faced stiff competition from NBC's ''Deal or No Deal'' and ABC's ''Dancing with the Stars''. On April 25, Fox canceled ''Drive'' only after four episodes had aired. As of 2010 the series has not been released to international markets (with the exception of Canada) or on DVD.

Production notes

Fox greenlit series production on ''Drive'' in October 2006. In addition to the series pilot, another twelve episodes were ordered as a midseason replacement for spring 2007.

Filming locations

''Drive'' was shot in the Los Angeles area, using road footage and green-screen technology. According to Tim Minear, "because of technology, we can actually create a cross-country road race and shoot it all in Santa Clarita." This led to geographic inconsistencies in the series, including mountains and desert settings visible during highway scenes set near Gainesville, Florida, when there are no actual mountain ranges or deserts in that area.

Highway scenes were shot on Interstate 210 in Rialto, California on the finished but unopened portion between Alder Ave. and Linden Ave. The exit for Alder Ave can be seen as the exit in most of the freeway scenes. In the first episode, the Alder Ave. sign for the exit is clearly legible. Scenes at the "Kennedy Space Center" were filmed at the Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, California.

Cancellation

The two-hour premiere of ''Drive'' in the United States, broadcast on April 15, 2007 at 8:00 pm, was watched by six million viewers. The program did not deliver the ratings Fox desired, and on April 25, 2007, the network announced that it had cancelled ''Drive''. The final two remaining unaired episodes of ''Drive'' were made available for online streaming on Fox on Demand beginning Sunday, July 15, 2007, in addition to the previously aired episodes. All six episodes of the show have been made available for purchase and download from the iTunes Store and Amazon Video on Demand exclusively for United States residents.

Fox initially announced that the final two episodes would air on July 4, 2007. The network rescheduled them for July 13 and later pulled them entirely. The two remaining episodes were posted online on July 15, 2007. Executive producers Tim Minear and Craig Silverstein subsequently gave an interview that described what might have happened if the series had continued.

Awards

''Drive'', while short-lived, is the first series to be nominated for an Emmy Award under the organization's new "broadband" eligibility guidelines. The show's title sequence had originally been submitted for consideration in the category of "best outstanding visual effects in a drama series". However, Emmy regulations require a series to air at least six episodes in order to be eligible, whereas ''Drive'' had only aired four episodes prior to its cancellation. After the sequence was posted for streaming on the Internet, it became eligible under the new "special visual effects" category.

In popular culture

In the September 2007 issue of Marvel Comics' ''Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man'', Peter Parker comments that "ever since Fox cancelled ''Drive'', it's been one piece of bad luck after another."

Ryan Thomas Gosling (born November 12, 1980) is a Canadian actor and musician.

Having first gained notice at the age of 12 as a mouseketeer on the variety show ''The Mickey Mouse Club'', Gosling has built a reputation for playing misfits in independent films: a fanatic Neo-Nazi in the ''The Believer'' (2001), a drug-addicted junior high school teacher in ''Half Nelson'' (2006), a socially inept loner in ''Lars and the Real Girl'' (2007) and a frazzled husband in ''Blue Valentine'' (2010). His most commercially successful movie to date is 2004's romantic drama ''The Notebook''. He has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Leading Actor (for ''Half Nelson'') and two Golden Globe Awards (for ''Lars and the Real Girl'' and ''Blue Valentine'').

2011 saw him expand his horizons. He appeared in his first comedic role in ''Crazy, Stupid, Love'' and his first action role in ''Drive''. His next film, political drama ''The Ides of March'', is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2011.

He formed a band named Dead Man's Bones with his friend, Zach Shields, and they released their self-titled debut album in 2009. The two met in 2005 (Shields was dating Rachel McAdams' sister) and quickly realized that they shared an obsession with ghosts. Thus, they decided to form their band around the themes of ghosts and monsters.

Early life

Gosling was born in London, Ontario but grew up in Cornwall. He is the son of Donna, a secretary, and Thomas Gosling, a paper mill worker. He was raised in a Latter Day Saint family, and has since stated that he "wasn't really Mormon, my parents were". His parents divorced when he was young and he was raised by his mother. He has said that he had "no pals" as a child and was homeschooled for a year after being bullied in elementary school.

He performed from an early age. He and his older sister, Mandi, sang together at weddings; he performed with his uncle's Elvis Presley tribute act, Elvis Perry, and he was involved with a local dance company. He spent part of his childhood in Florida, USA after successfully auditioning for a part on ''The Mickey Mouse Club'' at the age of twelve.

He developed an idiosyncratic accent as a child, later explaining, "As a kid I thought having a Canadian accent didn't sound tough. I thought guys should sound like Marlon Brando. So now I have a phony accent that I can't shake, so it's not phony anymore."

He dropped out of high school at the age of seventeen to focus on his acting career.

Career

Gosling first made his name as a child actor on ''The Mickey Mouse Club'' alongside fellow future stars Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake. He also appeared in many Canadian television series and movies including ''Goosebumps'' and ''Breaker High'', and, in 1998, he moved to New Zealand to film the adventure series ''Young Hercules''.

His first serious role was in 2001's controversial drama ''The Believer,'' which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. He has described it as "the film that kind of gift-wrapped for me the career that I have now. I suddenly found myself at Sundance, where people were asking me about my craft. So I had to pretend I had one." In 2002 and 2003, he appeared in ''The Slaughter Rule'', ''Murder by Numbers'' and ''The United States of Leland''.

In 2004, he starred opposite Rachel McAdams in the sleeper hit ''The Notebook''. The film made stars of its two leads, had huge popular culture resonance and frequently appears on Most Romantic Movies lists. The chemistry between Gosling and McAdams was often remarked upon, with the New York Times writing, "Their performances are so spontaneous and combustible that you quickly identify with the reckless sweethearts, who embody an innocence that has all but vanished from American teenage life. And against your better judgment, you root for the pair to beat the odds against them." In 2005, his sole appearance was in critical and box-office flop, ''Stay.''

In 2006, he appeared as a drug-addicted, junior high school history teacher in ''Half Nelson'', for which he was nominated for an Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award and won Best Actor at the Spirit Awards. He played an introvert who falls in love with a sex doll in the gently comedic 2007 film ''Lars and the Real Girl'', and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Broadcast Film Critics Association and won a Satellite Award. He also starred opposite Anthony Hopkins in the 2007 courtroom thriller Fracture.

Gosling focused mainly on his band Dead Man's Bones in 2008 and 2009, releasing a debut album and touring North America.

In 2010, he co-starred with Michelle Williams in Derek Cianfrance's directorial debut, ''Blue Valentine''. The low-budget film was mainly improvised: "Most movies when you're acting you're trying to block out the lights and the trailers. Here, you had to remind yourself you were making a film," says Gosling. "Michelle and I found it hard to take off our wedding bands when it was over. We'd built this castle and then had to tear it down." His performance was nominated for many awards, most notably a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama. Also in 2010, he narrated ''ReGeneration'', a documentary that explores the cynicism in today’s youth towards social and political causes, and starred opposite Kirsten Dunst in ''All Good Things''. He declined to promote the latter amid rumours he clashed with the director, Andrew Jarecki, on set. When asked if he was proud of the film, he replied, "I'm proud of what Kirsten does in the movie".

2011 saw him expand his horizons: he appeared in his first comedic role in ''Crazy, Stupid, Love.'' and his first action role in ''Drive''. His next film, political drama ''The Ides of March'', is set to premiere at and open the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2011.

He is currently filming ''The Place Beyond the Pines'', a bank heist movie with Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes and Ray Liotta, and is attached to three movies currently in pre-production: The Gangster Squad, ''Only God Forgives'' and a remake of ''Logan's Run''.

Personal life

Gosling lives in New York with his dog of eleven years, George.

He was in a relationship with Rachel McAdams, his co-star in ''The Notebook'', from 2005 to 2007. They also reconciled for a number of months in 2008. Following their split, Gosling said: "God bless ''The Notebook''... It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that."

He dated Sandra Bullock, sixteen years his senior, for over a year from 2002 to 2003, after meeting on the set of ''Murder by Numbers''.

He co-owns a Moroccan restaurant called Tagine in Beverly Hills, California.

Supportive of various social causes, he has worked particularly closely with the Enough Project.. He was Hollywood's representative at the ''Campus Progress National Conference'' in 2008 where he spoke out about Darfur. Gosling said, "For some reason, there's an interest in what people who do what I do have to say... I'm honored to have these experiences." In 2010, he traveled with John Prendergast of the Enough Project to eastern Congo.

Carey Hannah Mulligan (born 28 May 1985) is an English actress. She made her film debut as Kitty Bennet in ''Pride & Prejudice'' (2005). She had roles in numerous British programmes and, in 2007, made her Broadway debut in ''The Seagull'' to critical acclaim. In 2009, she gained widespread recognition for playing the lead role of Jenny in ''An Education'', winning a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Additionally, Mulligan was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award for her performance. She appeared in the dramatic films ''The Greatest'' and ''Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps'', as well as ''Never Let Me Go'', all in 2010.

Early life

Mulligan was born in Westminster, London, England. Her father, Stephen, was originally from Liverpool, and her mother, Nano (née Booth), a college lecturer, came from Llandeilo in West Wales. Her great-grandfather emigrated from Ireland. Mulligan has one sibling; an elder brother. At the age of 3, she moved with her family from England to Germany after her father accepted the job of managing the European arm of Intercontinental Hotels. Due to her father's job, her family lived in expensive hotels for 8 years. She was "quite shy" during her childhood and a tomboy until the age of 15. She was also "quite straight-laced" and very academic until age 14, having then become more interested in acting.

Her interest in acting sparked from watching her brother perform in a school production of ''The King and I'' (she would later participate in plays at her school) and attending Broadway plays as a teen. Before acting professionally, she had once secretly applied to and been rejected by three drama schools specified on her UCAS application form. After failing an audition, the rejections made her question whether to pursue an acting career and go through what she called a "confusing time". Aside from rejection, she had also questioned being an actress due to her parents' disapproval of pursuing a job in entertainment. They insisted she attend university and believed Mulligan's desire would wear off. Around this time, she had a brief job as a barmaid at a local pub. She later said that those negative experiences had a positive effect on her because it made her know how much she wanted to act.

Career

In 2004, at the age of 18, Mulligan began her acting career by winning the role of Kitty Bennett in ''Pride & Prejudice'', the 2005 period piece film adaptation of the Jane Austen novel. She received the role with help from her school's headmistress, after Mulligan had written to her explaining that she did not want to go to university and asking for help in getting in touch with actor Julian Fellowes, who had spoken at Mulligan's school. After she met Fellowes, he introduced her to a casting agent who was looking to cast an unknown in the film. Later that year, she appeared in a recurring role in the BAFTA award-winning BBC adaption of Charles Dickens' ''Bleak House'', as orphan Ada Clare and onstage in ''The Hypochondriac''. Among her 2007 projects were ''My Boy Jack'', starring Daniel Radcliffe that features her in a supporting role. Mulligan identified with her role Elsie, who vociferously opposes her brother going to war. She earned a Constellation Award for playing the main character Sally Sparrow in an episode of ''Doctor Who''. She rounded out 2007 by appearing in an acclaimed revival of ''The Seagull'', in which she played Nina to Kristin Scott Thomas' Arkadina and Chiwetel Ejiofor's Trigorin. ''The Daily Telegraph'' said her performance was "quite extraordinarily radiating'" and ''The Observer'' called her "almost unbearably affecting." While in the middle of the production, she had to have an appendectomy, preventing her from being able to perform for a week. For her debut Broadway performance in the 2008 American transfer of ''The Seagull'', she was nominated for a Drama Desk Award, but lost to Angela Lansbury.

At 22, she was cast in her first leading role as 16 year old Jenny in the coming-of-age 2009 release drama ''An Education'', which got rave reviews and commissioned $26 million against a $7.5 million budget at the box office. She received critical acclaim for her performance, as the press began referring to her as an "It girl". Lisa Schwarzbaum of ''Entertainment Weekly'' and Todd McCarthy of ''Variety'' both compared her performance to that of Audrey Hepburn. ''Rolling Stone'''s Peter Travers described her as having given a "sensational, starmaking performance," while Claudia Puig of ''USA Today'' felt that Mulligan had one of the year's best performances, and Toby Young of ''The Times'' felt she anchored the film. Writing in ''The Guardian'', Peter Bradshaw concluded that she gave a "wonderful performance." For her work, she garnered Golden Globe, Academy Award and Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, as well as receiving a British Academy Film Award. Mulligan was a recipient of the Shooting Stars Award from the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival and received an BAFTA Rising Star Award nomination, which is voted on by the British public.

She next starred in ''The Greatest'' (2010) as the pregnant girlfriend of a boy who dies; her involvement with the project helped it "tremendously", according to the director. It opened to mostly indifferent reviews, with Ty Burr of the ''Boston Globe'' criticising it for being "grueling and gently contrived", but was more positive in his assessment of Mulligan. After being selected to join The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, she won a British Independent Award for ''Never Let Me Go'', an adaption of the 2005 Kazuo Ishiguro novel, which she starred in and narrated and was released in September 2010 - competing against her other project, the Oliver Stone-directed film ''Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps''. The latter, a sequel to the 1987 movie, is about a new story of greed and power. Screened out of competition at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, it was her first major studio project. She also provided vocals for the song "Write About Love" by Belle & Sebastian. Mulligan returned to stage in Atlantic Theatre Company's off-Broadway play ''Through a Glass, Darkly'' from May 13 to July 3, 2011, acting as the central character, a mentally unstable woman, to glowing praise from reviewers.

Script adjustments were made to accommodate Mulligan as Irene, who was originally written as a Latina woman in her late 20s, in the 2011 neo-noir thriller movie ''Drive''. Mulligan began filming Steve McQueen's sex-addiction drama ''Shame'' alongside Michael Fassbender in New York in January 2011. Both films will be shown at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, with the former also been screened at Cannes and the latter at the Venice Film Festival. She will also star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2012 film adaption of ''The Great Gatsby'' playing the role of the superficial Daisy Buchanan. Other upcoming projects for her include the lead roles in an adaptation of ''My Fair Lady'' and ''On Chesil Beach'' as well as a part in the science fiction project titled, ''Outback'', developed by GK Films.

Personal life

Mulligan dated ''Money Never Sleeps'' co-star Shia LaBeouf from August 2009 to October 2010. She is now reported to be engaged to Mumford & Sons' lead singer Marcus Mumford.

She attended Catholic school, though now she considers herself simply spiritual. Her religious schooling made the already skeptical Mulligan feel that Catholicism was too strict. Mulligan took part in the Safe Project by being photographed by Nick Haddow in the places they feel the safest, for a series to be auctioned off to raise awareness of sex trafficking. She donated the Vionnet gown she wore at the 2010 BAFTAs to the Curiosity Shop, which sells its donations from celebrities and fashion associates to help raise money for Oxfam.
