We're probably one of the biggest fans of Ryan Gosling - not only because he's a talented actor, but also because of his active involvement in a number of worthy causes. While waiting for the release of his new film Lars and the Real Girl, we've been following news about his role in the upcoming The Lovely Bones. So it came as a big surprise when Variety reported that Gosling is no longer part of the cast...
Of course, Mr. Peter Jackson is a much bigger director than Kaye. If he bought the rights to adapt Alice Sebold's book into a movie, he would certainly want to do it according to his own vision for the story. Perhaps Ryan just got in the way of that?

I loved this story so much but I must confess I had trouble envisioning Ryan in the role of the father from the start, maybe because he is so much younger than the character in the book. I'm guessing here, but that dad has to be at least in his early 40s or so. Mark Wahlberg at 36 is almost ten years older than Ryan, who is 26. Maybe the fatted-up, bearded Ryan didn't age enough for PJ, who is a director who usually makes really good choices! Remember the same thing happened with LOTR, when Viggo replaced a younger man AFTER filming started, and what a triumph that turned out to be!
I still want Ryan!
written by Admin, October 24, 2007
I think you have a point there, and a number of online pubs have already made comments and started making assumptions.
The New York Post, not a really reliable paper, but quite popular with the gossipy crowd says: Peter couldn’t stand Ryan,’ said one source. Though Variety reported that Gosling had “stepped down” and was replaced by Mark Wahlberg, our source said, ‘Ryan cut his own hair, and was fighting with wardrobe. He was so demanding . . . Peter booted him two days before filming started. I find this pathetic and lacks the kind of credibility reserved for the more reputable newspapers. Its sad what people will do in order to maintain an audience. Its plain crap, IMO. There is already a discussion from one of the more high-density sites like slashfilms, where most of the post are quite amusing to say the least. Says /film, quoting the LA Times: Jackson was still expecting some movie star allure — not paunch and a beard. While Mark Wahlberg is a good, credible actor, I also think that Ryan Gosling can add a certain charisma to the film. I also don't agree with this opinion: Gosling is a great actor, with a lot of potential, but it seems like he’s letting the critical acclaim get to his head. A director directs, and an actor acts. Its sad to assume that Ryan would simply become self-conscious of his becoming 'critically acclaimed' and demand more say with the making of a film. For one, the guy is quite a private person and while he does speak his mind, I think the opportunity to work with Peter Jackson is something any good actor would look forward to. There can be no conclusion to this unless their official announcement of 'creative differences' is further explained. Anyway, it would be LOVELY to see Ryan in another quality film soon!
Irritative!

"Creative differences" always sound like some kind of mudslinging took place before the work relationship ended. We can only speculate here, that's true.
I don't know Ryan Gosling long enough to comment on his professional behaviour really, but I admire him as an actor and I appreciate the work he did in his movies. I always saw Edward Norton as a creative and professional actor/director and reading about the differences with Kaye irritative me. Mr. Norton does not sound like a person who only wants to increase his screentime withtout keeping the whole movie in mind, and I generally trust him and his work. I gotta say that I love "American History X" the way it is, but I do not know the version Kaye had in mind. So, yeah, creative differences are irritative. One does not know the true motives and so it might be not be understandable for the audience. It's sad we won't see Gosling in this movie, but I'm sure we'll see him in other great one.

Good to read this. Mr. Gosling is a professional and it's nice he took his time to comment on something as "unspectacular" as this.
Apparently, "creative differences" don't have to be of nasty origins. But unfortunately plain stories like this don't sell... :roll

tMF certainly has its eyes on a number of talented actors- Matthew Goode, Giovanni Ribisi, Nick Stahl and more. At the moment, we have below our latest profiles, with more coming up soon!
It would seem hard to talk about Casey Affleck without mentioning his brother Ben or vice versa. The brothers have been the subject of many articles - from their looks and their relationships to Ben’s decision to cast his brother in Gone Baby Gone and the completely different career paths both guys took on: Casey remained oblivious to the glamour and glitz of Hollywood, while Ben adjusted to the glare of being in the spotlight.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - The 30-year old Irish actor is known for speaking his mind- he is quite vocal about a number of issues- from the failings of the film industry to dealing with directors with huge egos to the irrelevance of celebrities & the lack of real talent in some of today’s biggest box-office stars. [ read more ]
Not many people are blessed with the opportunity to enter a deeply rewarding and exciting career. In the case of Michael Angarano, it has been like that since he was 5 years old. As a young model, he was exposed early to the hustle and bustle of a glam job. Not surprisingly, he began his successful transition into acting a couple of years later. [ read more ]
Kostja Ullmann: Taking on such a challenging role is not a new departure for the actor. After appearing in a variety of shows on German television, Ullmann was offered the role of Achim, one of the leads in Marco Kreuzpaintner’s Summer Storm. [ read more ]
