Key Points:
- Ryan Gosling has exited Daniels' untitled event film due to scheduling conflicts, as the project could not shift its planned summer start date and November 19, 2027 release.
- The film is a follow-up to Daniels' Playgrounds banner's hit Everything Everywhere All at Once, which won seven Oscars and grossed $143 million on a $25 million budget.
- Daniels described the new film as a "fun sci-fi, action comedy with a big heart" that tackles existential and complex contemporary themes, requiring more time to develop.
- The movie will feature a younger ensemble cast, possibly high school-aged, and is produced by Daniels, Jonathan Wang, and Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert through Playgrounds, with Universal overseeing production.
- Ryan Gosling is currently gaining momentum from the success of Project Hail Mary and is set to star next in Disney’s Star Wars: Starfighter.
