Ryan Gosling to Direct and Star in Musical Drama, "The Idolmaker"

Ryan Gosling is set to star and direct a remake of the 1980 movie "The Idolmaker" for MGM according to Deadline. This will mark the actor's directorial debut. The original film was directed by Taylor Hackford who moved on to bigger and better things such as "An Officer and a Gentleman" and "Ray."

The original "The Idolmaker" starred Ray Sharkey as Vincent Vacari, a songwriter/manager who discovered the rock n' roll sensation Tommy Dee (Paul Land). It is a thinly-veiled account of rock promoter/producer Bob Marcucci who discovered Frankie Avalon and Fabian.

Gosling is set to direct himself for the project. Here's a fan-made trailer of "The Idolmaker":
