The pitch in the vein of 2014’s Nightcrawler and 1976’s Network was reportedly made by the La La Land Best Actor-nominee himself.
In an exciting bit of recent news, Ryan Gosling has boarded Universal’s new take on The Wolfman, following the box office success of Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man.
The Wolfman will be written by Blumhouse founder Jason Blum’s wife, Lauren Schuker Blum, and her fellow Orange Is The New Black co-writer Rebecca Angelo.
Picks for the director are in the works over at the studio, but word is the filmmaker behind indie-thriller Thoroughbreds and HBO’s recent release Bad Education, Cory Finley, could helm the project.
