The wheel has spun and finally landed on Ryan Gosling\u2019s name, and lucky for him, his turn to be a Bourne-again antihero comes via a project with serious pulp-lit pedigree. The Gray Man takes its name, if not its plot, from the first in a series of books by Mark Greaney about a CIA-sponsored killing machine who\u2019s forced to go rogue and, naturally, finds himself in the Agency\u2019s crosshairs. The directors are Anthony and Joe Russo, and the screenwriters are Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, four men who\u2026let\u2019s say they\u2019ve dabbled in making the occasional financially successful event movie. They know their way around a blockbuster, in other words. The budget is rumored to be somewhere around the gross national income of a small country. You can tell the folks at Netflix smell a franchise here \u2014 not so much a cash cow as a potential cash stockyard.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
