Ryan Gosling stars as a stuntman who takes a job on his ex’s (Emily Blunt) movie and is quickly put into the position of saving the film after the world’s most popular action star goes missing in The Fall Guy. The three-minute trailer teases the incredible action as well as the humor, romance, and over-the-top circumstances that find Gosling’s character putting his life on the line.
Now, that’s how you reel potential audiences in with a trailer!
In addition to Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land) and Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place films), Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train), Winston Duke (Black Panther franchise) and Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once) star in the action thriller comedy.
Former stuntman turned filmmaker David Leitch (Bullet Train, Deadpool 2) directs from a script by Drew Pearce (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw). The Fall Guy‘s inspired by the ’80s series of the same name which starred Lee Majors.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, director Leitch discussed what fans of Ryan Gosling can expect from his starring role in The Fall Guy.
“He’s done action, he’s done romance, he’s done comedy, but this movie allowed him to do all of it,” said Leitch. “The stunt crews that [Gosling] has worked with and that I’ve come up with, we’re not jaded. We’re not like, ‘Oh, we don’t get the credit…’ We love making movies. He just wanted to bring a stuntman like that to life, and he wanted to find a real motivation for this character in the love story.”
Universal Pictures has set a March 1, 2024 theatrical release date.
Universal offers this description of the 2024 release:
The Stuntman becomes the hero.
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?
From 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, comes his most personal film yet. A new hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller and love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them: The Fall Guy.
Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling 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 — goes missing.
While the film’s ruthless producer (Hannah Waddingham), maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) 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.
