Director Craig Gillespie and ‘Fracture’ star Ryan Gosling are getting back together to make ‘The Dallas Buyers Club.’ They previously worked on ‘Lars and the Real Girl,’ a quirky drama with mixed reactions.

The new script sounds promising though. It’s the real life story of Ron Woodroof, who was diagnosed with AIDS in 1986 and was told he had another 6 months to live. Not willing to give up just yet, he smuggled in alternative drugs. Not only for himself, but also for other patients. In the end, Woodroof lived another 6 years instead of months.

The project has been in the works at Universal for several years. At one point, Brad Pitt was about to star with Marc Forster, who is currently busy with ‘Quantum of Solace,’ directing. Naturally, producer David Bushell can’t wait to start production. “This is about one man’s enduring spirit to live and the effect his actions had on others, even if his actions didn’t start out entirely as altruistic. ‘Lars and the Real Girl’ showed Craig’s ability to take offbeat, almost dangerous characters and make you want to bring them home for dinner, and Ryan stirs the deepest emotions with every performance,” he promoted.

‘Capturing the Friedmans‘ director Andrew Jarecki has been given the green light by Weinstein. Changing his gears from documentary to feature film, he starts shooting his new feature film ‘All Good Things’ in New York this month. The movie about “a Gotham real estate dynasty in the 1980s,” is featuring Ryan Gosling, Kirsten Dunst and Frank Langella.
