The Fall Guy has had its first test screening reaction.
This upcoming action movie stars Ryan Gosling as a battered and past-his-prime stuntman who finds himself working on a movie set with the star for whom he doubled long ago and who replaced him. It is directed by David Leitch, who also directed Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Hobbs & Shaw, and, most recently, Bullet Train.
The first reaction from a test screening has described the film as similar to the 2022 action-comedies Bullet Train and The Lost City. Gosling is said to have flat chemistry with co-star Emily Blunt. The action scenes are fun, and there’s a meta nature to having a movie stuntman as the lead character, especially with Leitch’s background in stuntwork.
Who is in The Fall Guy cast?
The Fall Guy stars Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Stephanie Hsu, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, and Teresa Palmer. Lee Majors, who starred in the 1980s TV series the movie is based on, will also appear.
The film is written by Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3, Hobbs & Shaw). It will release on March 1, 2024, by Universal Pictures.
