"Ryan Gosling will not be helming the remake of the 1980s film The Idolmaker, it has been revealed.  It was previously reported that the Blue Valentine actor would be making his directorial debut with The Idolmaker. However, Gosling has now withdrawn from the project thanks to his busy schedule, according to Moviefone.
