Mark 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!!!
