A late entry for the best movie trailer of 2023 has emerged, and it belongs to The Fall Guy. Scheduled for release on March 1, 2024, this film is a loose adaptation of the popular 1980s Lee Majors TV series. The recently released trailer provides an extended glimpse into what promises to be one of the most exhilarating and hilarious releases of the following year. The Fall Guy centers around an action-packed comedy narrative, following the story of a stunt man, portrayed by Ryan Gosling. He finds himself working on a movie directed by his former girlfriend, played by Emily Blunt. The protagonist is assigned the task of locating the movie's missing star, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
As expected, this sets the stage for a series of comical escapades, intense fights, and jaw-dropping stunts. Alongside the trio of Gosling, Blunt, and Taylor-Johnson, the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast. Stephanie Hsu, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, and Majors himself contribute to the sprawling lineup. The movie is helmed by director David Leitch, known for his background as a stuntman. Leitch previously co-directed John Wick alongside Chad Stahelski. He has since directed other notable films like Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and Bullet Train. The script is penned by Drew Pearce, who collaborated with Leitch on Hobbs & Shaw. Pearce also has writing credits on films such as Iron Man 3, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, and Hotel Artemis.
Having Leitch behind the camera ensures an abundance of thrilling action sequences. Action enthusiasts will also recognize the talents of second unit director Chris O'Hara (known for Venom), stunt coordinator Keir Beck (notable for The Matrix Resurrections), fight coordinator Jonathan Eusebio (renowned for John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum), and assistant fight coordinator Can Aydin (credited for Violent Night and Skylines).
It is an exciting prospect to have such a talented group of individuals working together on an action-comedy film with such a stacked cast. In conclusion, The Fall Guy's newly released trailer showcases the film's potential to become one of the most remarkable movie releases of 2024. With its stellar cast, dynamic action sequences, and the expertise of renowned filmmakers and coordinators, this comedy promises to be a true cinematic adventure.
