Ryan Gosling too busy to direct The Idolmaker

Actor Ryan Gosling has reportedly walked out of the film The Idolmaker. Sources claim that the Canadian actor has informed MGM that he is too busy to direct and star in the project, which revolves around the life of rock promoter/producer Bob Marcucci, who discovered Frankie Avalon and Fabian.

It was reported last month that besides acting, Ryan Gosling would also make his debut as director through the flick The Idolmaker, which is a remake of 1980 film with the same name. Now, the actor has told the producers of the film that he will not sit in the director's chair and also not star in the film.

The Canadian actor has reportedly told the bosses of The Idolmaker that he is very busy at the moment and hence cannot work in this drama film. But he is still interested in the movie and will return to it once he has an empty slot on his schedule.

Ryan Gosling has recently wrapped The Ides of March with George Clooney. He is currently on pre-production for Logan's Run and The Place Beyond the Pines. In addition to those pics, Gosling also has other high-profile films: Drive and Crazy, Stupid, Love.
