Gosling bank robbery: 'The Place Beyond the Pines' scene features real customers

The newly released Ryan Gosling bank robbery scene in the actor's latest movie definitely got people buzzing for its realistic approach. Some might say it was a bit too realistic, as Digital Spy shared on April 5 that it was filmed in front of real staff and customers.

The scene is for the film “The Place Beyond the Pines,” and Ryan Gosling plays the character Derek Cianfrance. It seems the filmmakers decided against using extras in the film, as they wanted the shoot-out to seem as realistic as possible. Gosling says that the bank robbery scene was done in one take, and they aimed to capture genuine reactions from everybody. It seems that many recognized him quickly, however, and got a kick out of being a part of the filming.

The film will be a definite change of pace for Gosling, as “The Place Beyond the Pines” is a dark film where Ryan plays a stuntman-turned-bank-robber. The film also stars his real-life girlfriend Eva Mendes, and Bradley Cooper is along for the ride. The film is already available in theaters, and now many will be watching closely for the reactions during the Ryan Gosling bank robbery scene.
