On the heels of their six-time Academy Award®-winning smash, La La Land, Oscar®-winning director Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling reteam for Universal Pictures’ First Man, the riveting story of NASA’s mission to land a man on the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the years 1961-1969. A visceral, first-person account, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the movie will explore the sacrifices and the cost—on Armstrong and on the nation—of one of the most dangerous missions in history.
Written by Academy Award® winner Josh Singer (Spotlight), the drama is produced by Wyck Godfrey & Marty Bowen (The Twilight Saga, The Fault in Our Stars) through their Temple Hill Entertainment banner, alongside Chazelle. Steven Spielberg, Isaac Klausner, Adam Merims and Singer executive produce. DreamWorks Pictures co-finances the film.

Ryan Gosling, Donald Glover and Ezra Miller are all on the short list to star in Warner Bros’ new ‘Willy Wonka’ film. The film is said to be a prequel and will focus on the origin story of Willy Wonka (via @Collider)
Warner Bros. is moving ahead with their Willy Wonka reboot and they’ve got some very interesting, big names on their shortlist for the lead role. We reported back in February that Paddington director Paul King had been tapped to helm the project for the studio. Now it appears as though they’re in the casting phase and are putting together a list of potential candidates to fill the very big shoes once filled by the legendary Gene Wilder. It looks like Ryan Gosling, Ezra Miller and Donald Glover at all on the shortlist.
According to a new report, the trio of actors are in the mix to play a young Willy Wonka in what is expected to be a prequel set prior to the events of the classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. We previously reported that there were rumors suggesting that Ryan Gosling was actively pursuing the role and it appears as though that may have worked, to some degree. At the very least, he’s being considered and that makes a great deal of sense. He’s partnered with Warner Bros. plenty in the past on projects like Blade Runner 2049 and The Nice Guys. From his point of view he hasn’t really tackled a family-friendly project such as this, so it represents a new challenge.
Donald Glover is the standout in this list. He’s an entertainer that literally everyone seems to want to work with right now, and with good reason. The man is a rare talent. He’s a massively successful musician, actor, writer and producer. It also would certainly be taking the character in a very different direction, but if anyone has the charisma to pull something like this off, it’s Glover. Once he finishes filming the live-action take on The Lion King for Disney, he’s pretty free as far as movie commitments go, but he’s got Atlanta on FX and his music to worry about.
Then there’s Ezra Miller. Since this new movie comes from producer David Heyman and is set up at Warner Bros., this name makes a great deal of sense. Miller currently stars as The Flash in the DC movies and is featured in the Fantastic Beasts movies. Heyman produced the Harry Potter movies and is working on Fantastic Beasts as well. If he somehow winds up with the part, that would be three potentially huge franchises resting on the young actor’s shoulders.
Simon Rich (Man Seeking Woman) is penning the screenplay for this new take on the book by Roald Dahl. The last time we saw the material brought to the big screen was in 2005’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which saw Johnny Depp as Wonka and was helmed by Tim Burton. The reception to that take wasn’t all that warm, but Warner Bros. is clearly going for something very different this time around. The Willy Wonka reboot does not yet have a release date. This news comes to us courtesy of Collider.
We’ll see what is going to happen … have you ever watched the original movie … personally I grew up with it and I love Gene Wilder. Here’s a sneak peak of the original movie:
The first trailer for his next movie, “First Man,” debuted Friday night during “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” showing Ryan as the first man to set foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong. It’s Damien Chazelle’s follow-up to “La La Land,” which scored both him and Gosling Oscars.
The trailer, in addition to giving the first glimpse of Gosling as Armstrong, also showed Claire Foy as his concerned wife, Janet. “This isn’t just another trip, Neil,” she tells her husband at one point. “You’re not just going to work.”
Indeed, the trailer focuses mostly on the dangers surrounding the risky Apollo 11 spaceflight. Neil Armstrong faces questions from politicians, and is even asked by his son, “Do you think you’re coming back?”
“First Man” debuted its first footage to theater owners at CinemaCon in April. There, Chazelle promised exhibitors that audiences would not only be taken on an “immersive journey,” going with Armstrong and his crew as they took their first steps on the moon, but to give a look at Neil and Janet’s difficult marriage.
In addition to Gosling and Foy, “First Man” also stars Pablo Schreiber, Kyle Chandler, and Jason Clarke. It’s set to fly into theaters on Oct. 12
Here’s a preview of Ryan Gosling’s Arrival to Jimmy Kimmel Live Studio in L.A. ‘ @ El Captain’ Theatre, to record the interview that it’s going to be aired tonight Friday June 8, 2018 on ABC at 8e/7c (USA time). Ryan was seen arriving to the studio in a denim jacket with a NASA logo emblazoned on the back, a graphic T-shirt and grey jeans. Stay tuned for more news and videos.

Here’s the link to read the full People’s Article with the Director’s Interview People Article
Damien Chazelle Quote from People’s Inteview: ‘“Ryan and I described the movie to each other as it’s about the moon and the kitchen, which means basically we wanted to tell the story about one of the most epic accomplishments in human history, but root it very much in the intimate and the day to day details of what it was actually like.” he says. “What did it feel like to be Neil or Janet at that moment in time and going through these truly superhuman kind of events.‘
About Ryan and Claire Foy Damien said: ‘Ryan and Claire Foy had never worked together, but I remember right from the beginning they just slipped into these roles, and just became a family on camera,” he says. “There was this sort of chemistry and bond between Ryan and Claire onscreen that really felt like the young Neil and Janet Armstrong that I had read about.‘
