Meet the epic, mysterious and comedic ‘Fall Guy’
EPIC, mysterious, romantic, comedic gold. The team behind”The Fall Guy” says the anticipated film has everything. Directed by David Leitch (“Bullet Train,” “Deadpool 2,” “Atomic Blonde,” “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”), the Ryan GoslingEmily Blunt is a love letter to Hollywood’s stuntmen and its crew who create magic behind the cameras for an exhilarating experience best seen in cinemas.
In “The Fall Guy,” Gosling plays Colt Seavers, who, like everyone in the stunt community, gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for people’s 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 (Blunt) while still doing his day job.
The movie is a big screen adaptation of the ‘80s classic action show of the same title that harks back to big Hollywood feels on how movies are made while bringing Gosling and Blunt’s palpable chemistry on screen as exlovers, and old sparks start to light in the midst of the set’s explosions.
Director Leitch knows the genre all too well being a stunt performer in previous movies such as “Fight Club,” “Daredevil,” “Bourne Ultimatum” and “Matrix” movies, making him the ideal helmer of The Fall Guy.
Gosling, from his appearance at 2023 CinemaCon when they showed the film’s first footage mentioned,”In most films, the actors get all the credit, but the stunt performers do all the work, and that ends today.”
“The Fall Guy” opens in Philippine cinemas May 1.
