When Deadline first reported that Gosling was in talks to star, we also learned the film was set to shoot in Los Angeles this summer after receiving a California Tax Credit.
The project was unable to move off its original schedule. So, there was no way to fit the schedule with the studio and Gosling to finalize a deal.
While the exact scheduling reason wasn’t shared, Gosling is coming off the blockbuster Amazon MGM Studios film Project Hail Mary, which has made over $300 million globally since its March 20 release.
A big part of its success is the huge promotional campaign Gosling and the studio ran in the past month and a half. Plus, he just finished a long shoot for his upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter, which ended his 2025. A longer break than necessary for the film’s shooting schedule makes sense for the scheduling conflict.
Even with Gosling’s departure, Universal and Daniels are still aiming to stick to their original shooting dates.
And given how much Gosling was liked by the script, the project is sure to attract plenty of other actors looking for the role he was up for. Details about the plot are not yet known.
Kwan, Scheinert, and Jonathan Wang will produce the film through their Playgrounds overall deal with Universal.
The movie is scheduled to open on November 19, 2027.
