New Time Travel Thriller ‘The Archive’
Universal Pictures has set up David Auburn’s time-travel thriller pitch THE ARCHIVE, with the “Proof” playwright to pen the script as a directing vehicle for James Mangold. Scott Stuber will produce with Cathy Konrad. Auburn adapted his 2001 play into the screen version of “Proof ” and also scripted “The Lake House” for Warner Bros. Auburn made his feature directing debut on “The Girl in the Park,” which the Weinstein Co. recently acquired. Stuber recently wrapped production on Joe Johnston’s “The Wolfman,” the Brandon Camp-directed “Traveling” and the Miguel Sapochnik-helmed “Repossession Mambo.”
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
