Exciting news! Ryan has been casted in a new movie titled “The Actor.

DEADLINE – EXCLUSIVE: In what shapes up as a hot package for the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin, Ryan Gosling has committed to star in The Actor, with Duke Johnson directing a script he wrote with Stephen Cooney, based on Donald E. Westlake’s hard boiled novel Memory.

Gosling will produce with Waypoint Entertainment’s Ken Kao, Johnson and his Innerlight Films partner Abigail Spencer, and Paul Young through his Make Good Banner.

Gosling will play New York actor Paul Cole, who is beaten and left for dead in 1950s Ohio. Stripped of his memory and stranded in a mysterious small town, Paul struggles to get back home, piece together and reclaim the life and identity he’s lost. The Actor follows a journey relatable to many: to find home, to find love, and ultimately to find ourselves. For those like me who long to see Gosling in another stylish and vehicle like Drive, this seems to hold a lot of promise. Gosling is currently prepping to go mano a mano with Chris Evans in The Gray Man, a big action global drama which Netflix hopes will launch a major franchise, with Avengers: Endgame helmers Joe & Anthony Russo directing.
