I have nothing against Ryan Gosling but I gotta admit I'm pleased as punch with today's news that he's no longer starring in the upcoming The Wolf Man movie from Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell -- he's being replaced by Chris Abbott, and y'all know I love me some Chris Abbott. And Abbott just, you know, looks more like a wolf man? A blond wolfman was always kind of weird and I said as much when Gosling got originally cast. Also, and I say this with a seriousness the subject might not demand, Chris has proven far more willing to bare skin...
... and if we're getting a Wolf Man in 2024 it should have at least as much nudity as David Naughton did in 1981 for god's sake. You better come through, Whannell! Anyway this kind of dulls the sting of how hard I've been trying to win the lottery for cheap tickets to see Abbott on stage with Aubrey Plaza in the play Danny and the Deep Blue Sea -- every day another loser notification for weeks on end dammit. Can't believe I'm going to miss this:

I'm in the same boat, for this and Merrily. Disappointed they chose this show, though.
As much as I like Abbott, I always love to see new actors making their frontal debut.
See: Jack O’Connell in “Lady Chatterly’s Lover”. Beautiful scene, but I would’ve liked to see it from someone who hadn’t gone the full Monty before.
