Who's Gonna Drive Drive Home Tonight?

Drive, a novel about a stunt/getaway driver snapped up by Universal as a possible action vehicle (honk) for Hugh Jackman, has changed hands. Off the project is Neil Marshall, director of The Descent, and taking his place is Bronson director Nicolas Winding Refn. That's according to Refn himself, who dropped the tidbit into a conversation with Empire. And who'd replace Jackman? "Hopefully...Ryan Gosling." Sounds good -- just someone's going to have to break the news to Channing Tatum that his dream stripper-biopic director is otherwise occupied. [Empire]

    I don't understand this: "which would be Gosling’s first commercial endeavor since 2002’s Murder By Numbers." Fracture and The Notebook were not "commercial?"

    you're right, it was supposed to say "commercial action-y endeavor"
