The Biopic Of Neil Armstrong Gets 2018 Release Date

 

James Hansen’s biography First Man: A Life Of Neil A. Armstrong will be the jumping-off point, creatively speaking, and we now have word that Universal has locked down a release date: October 12th, 2018.

An Oscar-friendly release window means filming is expected to commence in the coming months, so we’ll be keeping you right up-to-date as Universal begins its casting spree. Josh Singer will adapt Hansen’s acclaimed biography for the big screen, ensuring that First Man has top-tier talent right across the board.

It’s official: First Man blasts off on October 12th, 2018. A late 2018 release date would place Chazelle’s biopic in next year’s Oscar race, though the director likely doesn’t want to spend too much time dwelling on that golden statuette following 2017’s by-now infamous gaffe.
