OlderMark Wahlberg Replaces Ryan Gosling in ‘Bones’
Mark Wahlberg has replaced Ryan Gosling in the upcoming movie The Lovely Bones, according to Variety.
And just ONE day before shooting!!! (Filming begins today in Pennsylvania.)
Ryan vacated the role on Friday; Marky Mark stepped in on Sunday after quickly reading the script.
Wahlberg has taken the role of Jack Salmon, the grieving father of a young girl. Rachel Weisz will play his wife. After their daughter is murdered, the girl watches over her family and her killer from heaven.
Gosling gained 20 pounds and grew a beard for the role. “Creative differences” supposedly contributed to his abrupt exit.
Peter Jackson wrote the script with his The Lord of the Rings partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens.
Wow, this is major suckage for Ryan. Is there another role that he can take on now with all that massive weight gain????? Crazy!!!

Love them both, so I’m torn.
I read that Jennifer Aniston auditioned for Rachel Weitz part. She didnt get it, obviously! I wonder why???
Thank god. Ryan was way too young for that part. Mark Wahlberg is a way better choice.
YAY, I’m glad his homely fat but.t is out.
Reminds me of an heavy Arquette brother.
Mark will be so much better, yay!
Look. I have read “The Lovely Bones”, which is one of my favorite books ever and, as much as I love Ryan Gosling, he was WAY too young to play Jack Salmon.
And Mark Wahlberg is just another BAD casting. Dennis Quaid was perfect for the role of Jack Salmon.
Mark is for big blockbuster commercial movies, not for quality films which needs actors to bring dept and a wide range of emotions.
I was keeping an eye on this project, iw ont be anymore. I have nothing against Mark but COME ON!
Ryan is way better for the role than Mark is. Too bad !! LOVE YOU RYAN !!
LMAO, I feel sorry for Gosling for gaining so much weight and to learn he has creative differences with the writing.
Though overall, I feel as if the casting director hasn’t even read the book. Rachel Weisz and Mark Wahlberg are WRONG WRONG WRONG. Susan Sarand and Saoirse Ronan, however are quite the opposite.
I love Ryan Gosling, he was great in Fracture… it SUCKS that he wont act in the lovely bones
OH SOB, poor ryan..
I don’t think age was an issue- Ryan and Mark look the same age in these pics.
I could never picture Ryan and Rachel Weisz as a couple. Maybe the chemistry wasn’t there?
RYAN IS TOO PLAIN AND BLAND..MARKS SPICY!!
Where in PA are they shooting?
love mark but i think gosling would have been better suited to the role. look forward to see what mark does with it tho, for sure.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I hate Mark.
Could care less about Marky Mark…but it looks for all the world like Ryan got fired for being too heavy. He gained weight to look the part of a father, then they told him he was too fat.
Nice.
This wasn’t about Ryan leaving, it was about the film makers firing him.
Okay. Let me make a note to never watch their movies again.
They should have just made it clear how he had to look from the beginning. It’s almost like being fired for being pregnant! (Being heavy and not the office boss’ eye candy anymore). I’ve seen that in real life, and this is the male movie star version.
That irks me and I didn’t even know why Ryan was until yesterday!
I thought all movie contracts and riders specified any given conditions for completion of a movie/movie roll.
Guess not.

I’m a huge Mark fan and he’s going to do a great job with this role. He can evoke emotion just as well as he can throw a punch. I can’t wait to see it!
yeh well they knew when they hired him in the first place that he’s young…..so that’s not the problem. Otherwise yes there so many more good actors like a Dennis Quaid or Kevin Bacon together with Rachel…..
ps that Peter J is dirty looking fat man with beard…Ryan can still look very good with
gahh, you guys.
ryan would be so much better.
in the book, the dad is so strong mentally…
you don’t expect him to be soo big on the outside.
