#WritingForGosling: A Ryan Gosling fan has Tweeted over 20 Film Pitches for Actor
What better way to gear up for Ryan Gosling’s new film, First Man, than by looking at over 20 new film pitches for him?
Our own Director of Media & Development & Production, Nick Floyd, has dreamed up one film idea per day for the past 22 days, exclusively for the aforementioned actor.
Floyd, a longtime super fan of Ryan Gosling, and writer of several of his own films, initially notified his Twitter followers of the project on September 13th:
As a lot of you know, I am a big @ryangosling fan. So, today will be the beginning of a series of tweets called #WritingForGosling where I tweet log lines for film ideas that would star Ryan Gosling in hopes that one gets made. Here goes nothing…

Since then, he has followed through with 22 creative film pitches to Gosling, and shows no signs of stopping.
Here are just a few of our favorites:
Pitch #1: After the world ends suddenly, a recovering alcoholic (played by Ryan Gosling) must navigate a city in rubble on his motorcycle to find answers to the collapse of society and discover what it means to be human. #WritingForGosling

Pitch #3: After a small explosion on an Oil Rig, a disgruntled worker (played by Ryan Gosling) is given a choice whether to investigate and stop further explosions or join forces with the unknown entity that caused it in the first place. #WritingForGosling

Pitch #7: In a small midwestern town, an ice cream truck driver (played by Ryan Gosling) stumbles upon the corpse of a missing politician at a public park and is suddenly thrust into a web of deceit, violence and something colder than any old ice cream. #WritingForGosling

Pitch #13: The year is 1983 and Unicorns exist. A photo journalist (played by @RyanGosling) travels to Scotland to photograph the first ever Trial Of The Horn, an event where people come from all over to hunt/kill Unicorns in extreme and unethical ways. #WritingForGosling

When I asked Floyd what inspired him to dedicate his twitter to pitches for Gosling, he replied curtly:
Because the world needs more Ryan Gosling. Whether you like it or not, he’s one of the greatest actors of our generation.
Ryan Gosling first came onto the scene in 1995 in Are You Afraid of The Dark? and went on to star as Hercules in 1998 on Young Hercules. He also appeared in Remember the Titans.
He is beloved as star in one of the greatest love stories of all time, The Notebook, based on the Nicholas Sparks book by the same name. He’s also starred in films Drive, Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Nice guys, La La Land, and the Blade Runner films.
His newest film, First Man, based on Neil Armstrong’s trip to the moon, hits theaters Thursday.
