Trail Man

The world needs to crush on Ryan Gosling more than it already does.

George Clooney knows that, which is why he is considering Gosling to play a campaign operative in the political drama Farragut North that he co-wrote and is getting ready to direct.

The plot revolves around a young, idealistic communications director who works for an inspiring, though unorthodox, presidential candidate, and sees his career done in by more seasoned politicos who thrive on poisonous partisan politics, dirty tricks, and back-stabbing.

Sounds Up in the Air-ish....

Up next for Gosling is this December’s Blue Valentine, which may earn him his second Oscar nom.
