Universal has released the newest trailer for “The Fall Guy.” The action thriller, stars Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling as a director and stunt actor, respectively, who go in search of their missing mega-budget studio star.
Directed by real-life stunt man and director David Leitch, the blockbuster director of “Bullet Train,” “Deadpool 2,” “Atomic Blonde” and “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” and the producer of “John Wick,” “Nobody” and “Violent Night,” “The Fall Guy” seems to have everything you’d want from a big budget summer blockbuster, two very likable stars with chemistry, explosive action and crazy stunts, and one very adorable dog.
The film made its debut at SXSW a few weeks back, where attendees and critics gave it glowig reviews. Many of them saying it was a love letter to love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated below-the-line people who make films like “The Fall Guy” happen.
Winston Duke, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Hannah Waddingham, and Stephanie Hsu also star.
“The Fall Guy” opens in theaters on May 3, 2024.
He’s a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?
Oscar® nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land, Drive) stars as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie—being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, played by Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place films, Sicario)—goes missing.
While the film’s ruthless producer (Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham; Ted Lasso), maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder (Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson; Bullet Train) a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody’s good graces. But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt will find himself ensnared in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.
Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series, The Fall Guy also stars Winston Duke (Black Panther franchise) and Academy Award® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
From a screenplay by Hobbs & Shaw screenwriter Drew Pearce, The Fall Guy is produced by Kelly McCormick (Bullet Train, Nobody, Atomic Blonde) and David Leitch for their company 87North, and by Ryan Gosling and by Guymon Casady (Game of Thrones, Steve Jobs and executive producer of the upcoming series Ripley) for Entertainment 360. The film is executive produced by Drew Pearce, Entertainment 360’s Geoff Shaevitz and the creator of the original Fall Guy television series, Glen A. Larson.
