Ryan Gosling to play Neil Armstrong in upcoming biopic
By Tribute on December 30, 2016 | 4 Comments
Ryan Gosling is going from dancing on the streets of Los Angeles to making a giant leap for mankind on the moon.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor is now set to re-team with his La La Land director Damien Chazelle for an upcoming Neil Armstrong biopic.
Titled First Man, the biopic will be an adaptation of James Hansen’s biography First Man: A Life of Neil A. Armstrong and will explore NASA’s mission to land on the moon, centering on Armstrong’s years as a space dweller between 1961 and 1969.
The film’s script will be penned by Oscar-winning Spotlight scribe Josh Singer.
The actor/director duo are wisely using the momentum they’ve gained from their critical darling La La Land, which has continued to earn a bevy of awards recognition, including seven Golden Globe nominations and a SAG Award nomination for Ryan.

Yeah he is. He might as well ride the wave while he can. I think it’s a good choice actually. He’s been good in all his movies that I’ve seen.
Probably couldn’t find a worst job of casting if this true. Completely the wrong person to play such an important character in American history.
Fantastic news. That kid can act. Love from a Canadian Senior
Awful pick. He doesn’t suit that role at all.
