Ryan Gosling is no longer involved with the next movie from the Oscar-winning directing duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
Gosling’s departure from the untitled project is attributed to a scheudling conflict.
Universal had originally dated the feature for June 12, 2027, before moving it to November 19, 2027.
Kwan and Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, aimed to begin filming in Los Angeles later this summer, however, the production was unable to shift to accomodate Gosling’s schedule, which has been packed as of late following a lengthy global press tour for Amazon MGM’s sci-fi epic “Project Hail Mary.”
However, the three-time Oscar nominee is still set to star in one major 2027 release: director Shawn Levy’s “Star Wars: Starfighter,” which sends Gosling back into space after that uber-successful voyage.
He is leading the 2026 box office thanks to “Project Hail Mary” becoming a blockbuster hit.
The sci-fi movie, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, earned $80 million domestically and $141 million globally in its March 20 opening weekend; grosses now top $334 million worldwide.
Kwan and Scheinert made their feature directorial debut with 2016’s “Swiss Army Man,” a fantasy comedy starring Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe as a flatulent corpse.
The filmmakers most recent film, 2022’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” starred Michelle Yeoh and was a critical and commercial success.
It earned more than $100 million at the box office and won seven Oscars, including the best picture.
Kwan, Scheinert, and producer Jonathan Wang will produce the yet-to-be-titled movie through their Playgrounds production banner’s overall deal with Universal.
Kwan and Wang recently backed “The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist,” from Universal’s specialty studio Focus Features, which was released in theaters last weekend.
