First Man biopic is in production

[JayUtah]

Damien Chazelle (La La Land, Whiplash) is directing.  But more exciting to me, my friend Patrick Fugit has been cast as Elliot See.  I've known him since he was a mop-headed teenager taking acting classes locally (and later as a mop-headed young adult).  It's going to be surreal to see him with an astronaut's haircut.

Ryan Gosling cast as Neil Armstrong? Really?

Well, hopefully they will do a much better job than episode 6 of From the Earth to the Moon.

Yeah, that part puzzles me too.

Well, hopefully they will do a much better job than episode 6 of From the Earth to the Moon.

And better than "Interstellar" more in tuned with the real science behind the mission.
