Director David Leitch goes from
Bullet Train
to joining the nostalgia train with a big screen reboot of '80s action TV
show The Fall Guy. Ryan Gosling takes over from Lee Majors as stuntman Colt Seavers.
The film sees Seavers team up with his ex-wife (Emily Blunt) to solve
the mystery of a missing movie star (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).
Hannah Waddingham, Stephanie Hsu and Winston Duke also star. The screenplay
was penned by Drew Pearce.
The Fall Guy is in UK/ROI cinemas next March.
Check out the first trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
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.
