Moon Landing Film From Damien Chazelle & Ryan Gosling To Open In 2018

On the heels of winning six Oscars statuettes, writer/director Damien Chazelle and actor Ryan Gosling are reteaming for the adaptation of James R. Hansen's book First Man by Oscar-winning screenwriter Josh Singer ("Spotlight").

Set between 1961 and 1969, First Man centers on NASA's mission to land a man on the Moon, exploring the sacrifices endured by both Neil Armstrong and the United States of America to complete one of the most dangerous but captivating missions in history.

Gosling, who was previously reported as being in negotiations to join the film, is playing Armstrong.

Chazelle and Gosling will produce the film alongside Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen from Temple Hill Entertainment.

DreamWorks Pictures will co-finance the film, which Universal has scheduled to open in theaters on October 12, 2018.
