Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone May Be Getting Back Together for Musical Rom-Com
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling may be gearing up to get back in each other's arms for another team-up, this time in a musical rom-com.
"Whiplash" director Damien Chazelle is eyeing the chemistry-laden love team of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling for his musical romantic comedy titled, "La La Land."
Gosling and Stone already have a strong following after their successful team-ups in films like 2011's rom-com "Crazy, Stupid Love," and "Gangster Squad," the 2013 crime drama.

"La La Land" is slated to be a contemporary romantic musical directed by Chazelle, whose 2014 breakout film "Whiplash" won a total of three Oscars, including J.K. Simmons' Best Supporting Actor.
The new lighter musical will be set in modern day Los Angeles, but will focus on old-fashioned classical music as the storyline revolves around the love story between an aspiring actress and a jazz player.
"Whiplash" star Miles Teller and "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson were initially attached to partner up in the film, but both had to bow out due to other projects; Teller with "Fantastic Four" reboot, and Watson with the live action retelling of "Beauty and the Beast."
With Gosling and Stone's already supercharged onscreen chemistry, the change in cast is likely to be a pre-promotion for the movie itself. The pair have already admitted to enjoy working together in their previous film projects, with Gosling praising his co-star's charisma in "Stupid, Crazy Love."
One of Hollywood's most popular leading men, Gosling is known for choosing indie projects, recently made his directorial debut with fantasy neo noir film, "Lost River," and is due to appear next in Woody Allen's "Irrational Man," while Stone is fresh off, "Birdman," which won an Oscar for Best Picture, and is currently on Broadway characterizing Sally Bowles in a revival of "Cabaret."
