Get your motor running with our Drive issue of Boxoffice Weekly. Director Nicolas Winding Refn speeds us through his unusual creative process and says that Drive's influences were odder—and older—than the hot pink title credits and rad '80s action would have you guess. Hear three of Drive soundtrack artist Johnny Jewel's iconic songs as he opens up about how he got asked to do the film's entire musical score (and why it will never play over the movie, unless you pull some Pink Floyd/Wizard of Oz shenanigans), plus see a flipbook of his sketches for the movie—it's like watching Drive in pencil drawings. Learn how to poach star Ryan Gosling's cool when Drive costume designer Erin Benach goes point-by-point over his entire wardrobe from his satin scorpion jacket to his retro slick boots and vent with our columnist Ross A. Lincoln as he critiques what Drive—and other Los Angeles movies—gets wrong about LA traffic.
