(Ryan
Gosling)
M-Net (channel 101) will screen the biography
First Man tonight (July 21) at 20h05.
Oscar-nominee Ryan Gosling takes on the
role of the legendary Neil Armstrong, in a film about his life and the
celebrated space mission to the Moon on July 20, 1969.
On the heels of their six-time Academy
Award®-winning smash, La La Land,
Oscar®-winning director Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling reteam for
Universal Pictures’ First Man, the
riveting story of NASA’s mission to land a man on the moon, focusing on Neil
Armstrong and the years 1961-1969.
A visceral, first-person account, based on
the book by James R. Hansen, the movie will explore the sacrifices and the cost
- on Armstrong and on the nation - of one of the most dangerous missions in
history. Written by Academy Award® winner Josh Singer (Spotlight), the drama is produced by Wyck Godfrey & Marty Bowen
(The Twilight Saga, The Fault in Our
Stars) through their Temple Hill Entertainment banner, alongside Chazelle
and Gosling. Isaac Klausner (The Fault in
Our Stars) executive produces. DreamWorks Pictures co-finances the film.
