What To Know About ‘The Fall Guy’ Movie

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 former 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 (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 Oscar® nominee 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 TERESA PALMER (A Discovery of Witches, The Clearing) as Iggy Starr, Tom Ryder’s co-star and showmance girlfriend; Academy Award® nominee STEPHANIE HSU (Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Tom Ryder’s personal assistant Alma Milan, and WINSTON DUKE (Black Panther franchise, Us) as Dan Tucker, a stunt coordinator and Colt’s close friend. 

The Fall Guy’s extraordinary stunt team is led by Stunt Designer and Coordinator and second-unit director CHRIS O’HARA (Free Guy, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), and includes BEN JENKIN (Godzilla vs. Kong, The Fate of the Furious), JUSTIN EATON (Deadpool, Avengers: Endgame), LOGAN HOLLADAY (Shazam, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), TROY BROWN (Quarantine, Sky High), SUNNY SUN (Logan, Deadpool 2), JONATHAN EUSEBIO (John Wick, Black Panther) and KEIR BECK (Mad Max: Fury Road; Hacksaw Ridge). 

From a screenplay by Hobbs & Shaw screenwriter DREW PEARCE, and based on the television series created by GLEN A. LARSON, The Fall Guy is produced by KELLY McCORMICK p.g.a. (Bullet Train, Nobody, Atomic Blonde) and DAVID LEITCH p.g.a. for their company 87North, by GUYMON CASADY p.g.a. (Game of Thrones, Steve Jobs; executive producer of the new series Ripley) for Entertainment 360 and by RYAN GOSLING. The film is executive produced by DREW PEARCE, CECIL O’CONNOR and by Entertainment 360’s GEOFF SHAEVITZ.

The film’s director of photography is JONATHAN SELA (Bullet Train, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw). The production designer is DAVID SCHEUNEMANN (Bullet Train, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw) and the editor is ELÍSABET RONALDSDÓTTIR (Bullet Train, Deadpool 2). The film’s costume designer is SARAH EVELYN (Bullet Train, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw) and the music is by DOMINIC LEWIS (Violent Night, Bullet Train). Universal Pictures presents an 87North/Entertainment 360 production of a David Leitch Film: The Fall Guy.
