Ryan Gosling and Universal’s ‘Wolfman’ Sets Derek Cianfrance as Its Director
EXCLUSIVE: Universal’s latest Wolfman movie starring Ryan Gosling looks to be gaining momentum as the studio has zeroed in on a director that knows the Oscar-nominated actor’s work very well. Sources tell Deadline, Derek Cianfrance, who teamed with Gosling on the dramas Place Beyond the Pines and Blue Valentine, is in talks to direct a new take on Universal’s classic monster character. He steps in for Leigh Whannel, who parted ways with the project earlier this year due to scheduling. Gosling, Ken Kao and Jason Blum are producing and Cianfrance is penning the script.
