Dust and Glory producer looks to automotive brands for funding; confirms Gosling rumours

An Australian-based producer is in talks with automotive brands to invest in a big budget road film, which may see Ryan Gosling to star.

Robert Galinsky’s film Dust and Glory is about a famous Outback car race in the 1950s. Peugeot, which won the race in 1953, has already come on board as a principal development sponsor.

Galinsky told Encore: “We’re in advanced discussions with some oil companies, tyre companies, and confectionery companies to include them in the film. We’re re-creating those products and taking them back to the 50s.”

While Peugeot Australia is a principal sponsor, Galinsky is in discussion with parent company Peugeot Paris to integrate with the film across worldwide promotions.
