Is Ryan Gosling going where no man has gone before? – Skatronixxx
As a Ryan Gosling fan, I have known for some time that the actor is out of this world talented but it seems that the Canadian actor may be going further into space by lending his actors chops to Universals Neil Armstrong biopic First Man.
A source close to Deadline reports that Gosling is currently ‘being courted’ by the studio who hopes that he will step into the boots of the famed astronaut. Spotlight (2015) writer Josh Singer is working on the screenplay, based upon the autobiography First Man: The life of Neil A. Armstrong written by James Hasen, detailing the man’s life and historic Apollo 11 space mission. The Oscar bait story will also see director Damien Chazelle take the helm after his surprise hit Whiplash gained critical acclaim early this year.
If Universal are dead set for Gosling to take the lead they will have to wait until the actor has completed work on Blade Runner 2 first, after confirming last week his involvement with the sci-fi sequel.
