Carey Mulligan and Ryan Gosling get into gear as they start filming new movie Drive

Carey Mulligan is seen here on location for her latest film project in Los Angeles.

The British actress, 25, was pictured on set with co-star, Canadian actor Ryan Gosling for their new movie, Drive today.

The action-thriller is being produced by Universal Studios and will also star Mad Men's Christina Hendricks.


The film is based on the James Sallis novel about a Hollywood stunt driver (Gosling) who moonlights as a getaway car driver in heists.

In the book, the stuntman’s already-exciting existence gets jolted when he discovers that a contract has been put out on his life.

Wall Street Star Mulligan, who won acclaim for An Education last year, will play the girlfriend of Gosling's character.


Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn is at the helm.

Carey looked a little glum as she headed back to her trailer between shoots today, wearing a red top and patterned dress.

Meanwhile, Gosling was looking a bit more cheerful, showing off his biceps in a white vest top.

Carey Mulligan dreams about playing Juliet

Actress Carey Mulligan has revealed that she is very keen to play Juliet in William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet on Broadway.

The 25-year-old actress said she hopes to hit the stage as Juliet in a new production next year.

"I've been talking to someone about Romeo & Juliet and I'd never sort of gone after it and tried to make that happen. I've never done Shakespeare, so that really scares me. But it's exciting," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

"I won't be able to play Juliet in a couple of years and if I'm ever gonna do it I should do it now," she added.
The Education star insists she'll always return to the stage in between movies because she's more comfortable on stage.

She said: "I love doing film, but I do think I'm more comfortable on stage because the film was never the dream."
