Jason Clarke joining the cast of Damien Chazelle’s “First Man”

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Jason Clarke is in talks to join the cast of Damien Chazelle’s upcoming Neil Armstrong biopic “First Man”. The film, which also stars Ryan Gosling, Kyle Chandler and Corey Stoll, is written by Josh Singer and hits theaters on October 12th, 2018. “First Man” is “described as a visceral, first-person account of NASA’s mission to land a man on the moon, focusing on the years 1961-1969 and Armstrong, the astronaut who became the first man to set foot on the moon. 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.” “Gosling is playing Armstrong, Chandler is test pilot Deke Slayton and Stoll will play astronaut Buzz Aldrin.” “Clarke will play Ed White, the first American to walk in space who later died in an Apollo mission testing accident.” What do you think of Jason Clarke joining the cast of Damien Chazelle’s “First Man”?
