Gosling Up For BONES

Ryan Gosling just came out of a Oscar nominated performance in HALF NELSON. Now, he's turning his acting abilities into a new role for Peter Jackson's upcoming THE LOVELY BONES. Dreamworks has signed the actor on to lead up the cast alongside Rachel Weisz in the Jackson written story.

What's the story about?

It's told through the voice of Susie Salmon, who is murdered but continues to observe her family on Earth after her death. Removed from the world she once knew, Susie witnesses the impact of her loss on her loved ones, while her killer skillfully covers his tracks and prepares to murder again.

Ryan Gosling will be playing Susie's father. Rachel Weisz will be playing her mother.

No star has been attached for Susie's role.

I'm still holding out hope that Peter Jackson gets this film made, New Line loses the rights to THE HOBBIT and we still get one more Jackson directed Hobbit adventure. I know, that's too optimistic an expectation, Maniacs.
