The first trailer for David Leitch‘s ‘The Fall Guy,’ starring Ryan Gosling, is set to release next week on Universal Pictures‘ official YouTube channel, as confirmed by a Twitter user (Cryptic HD Quality).
The upcoming film is an adaptation of the 1980s TV series of the same name created by Glen A. Larson, which starred Lee Majors.
What Is the Plot of The Fall Guy?
In the film, Gosling plays Colt Seavers, an out-of-work stuntman invited by his ex-girlfriend, who is making her directorial debut in Hollywood. He takes on the role of stuntman for a difficult new action star. When this star goes missing, Colt has to find and rescue him from the dark side of Hollywood. This is his chance to reconnect with his former love, save the film, and prove himself as the best stuntman.
Directed by Leitch from a screenplay by Drew Pearce. The film also stars Emily Blunt as a prosthetic makeup artist, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a movie star who goes missing, Stephanie Hsu as the movie star’s personal assistant, Winston Duke as the stuntman’s best friend, Hannah Waddingham as a film producer, Teresa Palmer, and Ben Knight. Produced by Leitch, Gosling, Kelly McCormick, and Guymon Casady.
In an interview with Collider, Producer McCormick said, “David coming from stunts, and telling a story about a stuntman who is coming into his own through having to investigate a crime. [It’s] incredibly special in the sense that we get to do – We’re really trying to do a lot of practical action on this. We always do, but in this case, it’s a really big practical action. And it just feels like we’re paying homage to the stunt community and to, really, cinema and those of us who make the movies. And it’s sort of a love letter to the industry. On top of it just being really fun and what I think will be a really good time for the audience.”
Where Will The Fall Guy Be Released?
‘The Fall Guy’ will hit theaters on March 1, 2024, by Universal Pictures.
