‘First Man’ Starring Ryan Gosling to Film in Georgia

Date:

Ryan Gosling’s new movie First Man to film in Georgia this summer.

According to Explore Georgia, the upcoming Universal production, First Man, is now filming in Georgia.

In the upcoming Georgia-filmed production Ryan Gosling will play Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, in a new biopic directed by La La Land and Whiplash director Damien Chazelle.

Josh Singer, who earned an Oscar for his Spotlight screenplay, wrote First Man based on James Hansen’s biography, First Man: A Life of Neil A. Armstrong. Gosling has reportedly been tied to the project since late last year, but only inked a deal to star in the film earlier this year.

After serving as a Navy pilot in World War II, Neil Armstrong joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the precursor to NASA, as a test pilot and engineer. His first mission as an astronaut was Gemini 8 in 1962, during which he performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space. On July 21st, 1969 he became the first person to walk on the moon as part of Apollo 11.

While the movie will center around Armstrong, it will also explore what it took to put the man on the moon including the cost and sacrifice required by both Armstrong and America to make it successful.
