Gosling wrote emasculating lines for movie scene
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK — When it comes to conjuring up the most mean-spirited insults a mother could hurl at her son, leave it to Ryan Gosling. In his latest film, “Only God Forgives,” the Canadian actor plays a drug-smuggling mama’s boy. In one scene, his character is humiliated by his mother at dinner after he brings a hooker, posing as his girlfriend, to meet mom — played by Kristin Scott Thomas. Gosling said the embarrassments heaped on his character — including comments about his anatomical shortcomings — weren’t originally in the script.

“She had to emasculate me and so she asked me to help, which I thought was funny. We just worked together and I told her all the things that she could say to me that would be sort of castrating,” Gosling said, smiling. “She has that whole crazy rant.” The actress said while it was fun to play the villainous character, the darkness in her soul was “debilitating and wears you down.” And then there’s the dinner scene. “All I can remember was there was these huge pages and pages of words, and some of them were very, very difficult to say,” Scott Thomas said. “He (Gosling) came up with that dialogue, believe me.” Scott Thomas said it takes a certain type of actor to be able to handle some of the more sensitive comments hurled at his character. “You can rely on him. He’s not going to flake. He’s not going to suddenly stop being in the scene. He’s not going to judge you by the way you’re interpreting something,” Scott Thomas said of Gosling, adding: “To have somebody that I could completely rely on to be there and not kind of laugh ... was sort of helpful.”

ROME — The techno-thriller “Gravity” starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts stranded in outer space will open the 70th Venice Film Festival. Terry Gilliam’s “The Zero Theorom” starring Christoph Waltz and Matt Damon, and Jonathan Glazer’s “Under the Skin” featuring Scarlett Johansson are among 20 films — five by U.S. directors — vying for the coveted Golden Lion. “Gravity” is among 17 films showing out of competition. The lineup for the world’s oldest film festival, announced Thursday, includes film by three Oscar-winning directors: Hayao Miyazaki with an animated film about a Japanese fighter plane designer, Poland’s Andrzej Wajda with a movie depicting the life of Solidarity leader Lech Walesa and Errol Morris with the documentary about former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

A picture taken on July 24, 2013 shows derailed cars at the site of a train accident near the city of Santiago de Compostela. Between 45 and 50 people died when a train derailed in Galicia in northwestern Spain today, the president of the regional government of Galicia said. The train which carried 238 passengers originated in Madrid and was bound for the northwestern town of Ferrol.
Agence France-Presse SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA - A train hurtled off the tracks in northwest Spain killing at least 77 passengers and injuring more than 140, an official said Thursday, the country’s deadliest rail disaster in more than 40 years. Four carriages overturned in the smash late Wednesday, smoke billowing from the wreckage, as bodies were lain out under blankets along the tracks. The carriages piled into each other and folded up like an accordion. One was ripped apart by the force of the crash, one of its ends pushed up into the air. Several witnesses spoke of a loud explosion. “I was at home and I heard something like a clap of thunder, It was very loud and there was lots of smoke,” said 62-year-old Maria Teresa Ramos, who lived just metres from where the accident happened. “It’s a disaster, people are crying out. Nobody has ever seen anything like this,” she added.
Her neighbour Martin Rozas, 39, helped pull the wounded from the wreckage and laid blankets over the dead. “It was like an earthquake,” he said. The accident happened at 8:42 pm (1842 GMT) Wednesday as the train carrying 218 passengers and four staff was about to enter Santiago de Compostela station in the northwestern region of Galicia. It marks the worst rail accident in Spain since 77 people were killed in 1972 in a derailment in Andalusia in the south. In 1944, hundreds were killed in a crash also between Madrid and Galicia. Rescue workers recovered 73 bodies from the train’s wreckage and four more victims died later in hospital, a
spokesman for the Galicia high court said Thursday, increasing an earlier toll figure. A total of 143 people were said to have various injuries. The train had left Madrid and was heading for the town of Ferrol as the Galicia region was preparing celebrations in honour of its patron saint James. A witness told radio Cadena Ser that carriages overturned several times on a bend and came to a halt piled up on each other. Public television TVE said the train may have derailed because it was speeding at the time of the accident but a spokesman for state railway company Renfe said it was too soon to say what caused the accident. “There is an investigation underway and we have to wait. We will know what the speed is very soon when we consult the train’s black box,” a Renfe spokesman said. The train was the Alvia model which is able to adapt between high-speed and normal tracks.
