Ryan Gosling has signed on to lead the next big project from Oscar-winning filmmakers Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, better known as the Daniels.
The film marks his long-awaited continuation of Everything everywhere and at the same time.
The untitled sci-fi action comedy comes to Universal Pictures under the duo’s Playgrounds banner with long-time producing partner Jonathan Wang.
It already has a release date blocked for November 19, 2027.
Production is expected to begin this summer.
The casting news came as Gosling enjoys the box office momentum of Ave Maria Projectwhich debuted at #1 worldwide this past weekend for Amazon MGM Studios, potentially launching a new franchise.
Plot details remain under wraps.
However, in a recent interview at SXSW, Kwan teased the film as “a fun sci-fi action comedy with a big heart. Very existential. All those things you’d expect one of our movies to be.”
He added that the project is taking time to develop because it aims to reflect the paradoxes and complexities of today’s world.
Sources suggest the ensemble will feature younger talent, possibly high school characters, alongside Gosling.
Universal executives Sara Scott and Jacqueline Garell are overseeing the project.
The film marks the duo’s first major feature film since Everything everywhere and at the same timewhich swept seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, and grossed $143 million worldwide on a $25 million budget.
