Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn to collaborate on comedy
Director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling are planning to collaborate on a comedy film. This marks a significant stylistic departure from their previous two projects, the cult hit ‘Drive’ and ‘Only God Forgives’.
Refn noted that the duo has maintained contact as their lives have evolved in parallel. While details regarding the comedy remain undisclosed, Refn compared the mystery of the project to the anticipation of Christmas.
This shift in genre aligns with Gosling’s recent preference for avoiding dark roles in favor of projects that consider his family. Refn’s next immediate project is a reimagining of the horror film ‘Maniac Cop’, with production scheduled to begin in January 2027.
