Along with being the face of a wildly popular meme, Ryan Gosling is one of Hollywoods busiest leading men with three films rumored to be in the works. Sorry ladies, but a sequel to "The Notebook" isnt one of them.

'The Haunted Mansion'

According to Variety, Gosling will be starring in Disneys The Haunted Mansion, directed by the macabre-loving filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. Whats that, you say? Disney already released a movie by the same name in 2003 starring Eddie Murphy? You would be correct, but since Disney has announced a slew of live-action films set for production, including a much buzzed about Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson, its not surprising that The Haunted Mansion is also getting a reboot.

At ComicCon 2010, de Toro said, Were making it scary and fun. But the scary will be scary.

Supposedly the new film starring Gosling will take a different spin on the story behind the Disneyland attraction and focus more on the Hatbox Ghost character, a headless ghost that was only briefly part of the popular ride. If Gosling himself plays the Hatbox Ghost, they may have to change the character's name to HOTbox Ghost. Is this thing on?

'Blade Runner 2'

It was announced last week that Gosling will also be joining Harrison Ford for Blade Runner 2, with production slated to begin in the summer of 2016.

The story takes place several decades after the conclusion of the 1982 original. Story details, as well as Gosling's character, are not being revealed, confirmed Alcon Entertainment. Ford is taking on his previous role as Rick Deckard, and theres speculation around the Web that Goslings character may be a sort of protege.

'La La Land'

If you ever had the pleasure of watching The New Mickey Mouse Club in the 90s, its possible you spotted a young Gosling singing and dancing his heart out next to the likes of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. If the Hollywood buzz is true, audiences may see him dance alongside Emma Stone in La La Land, a romantic musical reminiscent of Broadways City of Angels.

The story, by writer/director Damien Chazelle, is rumored to be about a jazz pianist and aspiring actress and slated for production in the fall. If Gosling takes on La La Land, it will be his third film with Emma Stone, having starred together previously in Gangster Squad and Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Have You Seen This? Giant 1,000 lb. bear is made of nightmare juice

NIGHTMARE LAND Many of you know that I am not a big fan of bears. I know you think they're adorable, but I promise you won't think they're so cuddly and cute when they dismember you for kicks and then use your bones as toothpicks to get your Abercrombie shirt out of their teeth.

Sorry to get graphic, I'm just very passionate about this subject and the fact that we need to prepare for the Bearpocalypse. Bears hope to be our four-legged overlords and considering their brute strength, speed, all-terrain bodies and growing intelligence, it's going to be tough to stop Bearmageddon.

I had hope that we humans were still in control of our own destiny, but then I found this video that is straight out of a nightmare and now I fear for our kind.

This video is a year old and was taken in Alaska, the scariest place on earth due to the bear to human ratio. They call this bear 747 because he's the size of a passenger jet and if he decides to crash with you aboard there will be no survivors.

I know you're thinking 747 is a big cuddly mammal and when he scratches his back on that tree your eyes get all starry and your mouth starts making that, "ahhh" shape. Resist it. Fight it. Survive. 747 is using the tree to limber up to make sure he is poised and ready to take you down if you get a little too close.

Apparently, it's possible to take a bear tour to see 747 and others like him, and you can if that's your prerogative. People like to do stuff like that. Some people also like to hunt ghosts and perform seances because who doesn't want to live in an actual nightmare?

Please stay away from 747 and prepare yourself for the Bearpocalypse.
