Movies these days are more of a production than a simple story led by a cast. If there is no pomp and circus around it, chances are, it won’t do much business. Even with some really popular names attached to projects, sometimes that is not enough. And Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt starrer The Fall Guy is a prime example of that.
Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in The Fall Guy
Sometimes, even if a movie has good reviews and high critic scores, people tend to wait for it to get to streaming services to watch it, rather than buying tickets for the theaters. And this is the biggest issue with today’s industry. Most movies go to streaming, even if it is a year later, and people are willing to wait for them. Unless the production around a movie is so hyped that watching it in theaters on...

In a scene early in The Fall Guy, a nameless crewmember buckles Ryan Gosling’s seat belt as his character is about to attempt a cannon roll, a classic car stunt, on the set of a fictional science fiction movie called Metal Storm. Gosling plays Hollywood stuntman Colt Seavers, who is reluctantly returning to the film business after an injury, but in many ways the real star of the scene is the background actor buckling him in, Logan Holladay. Though his screen time lasts only a few moments, Holladay was the real-life stunt driver for Gosling — the one who actually steered a Jeep Grand Cherokee down a Sydney beach and rolled it eight and a half times on the sand, breaking the Guinness world record of seven rolls set by Adam Kirley, the driver of James Bond’s Aston Martin in 2006’s Casino Royale.

The upcoming The Fall Guy, in theaters on May 3rd, and a salute to stunt people, had it’s premiere at SXSW earlier this week.
AP reported:
The SXSW premiere of “The Fall Guy” came with some of its own stunts. A pair of motorcycles sped through the crowds milling outside the Paramount Theater before Blunt and Gosling arrived in the back of a pick-up. Blunt and Gosling weren’t the only ones fresh from the Academy Awards. Leitch and his wife, Kelly McCormick, (a producer on “The Fall Guy”) produced a clip reel of stunts for the telecast. Though stunt performance isn’t an Oscar category (a sore point that comes up in “The Fall Guy”), Leitch thinks it will happen soon.

After catching Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling’s charming banter at the Oscars, fans couldn’t help but dream about them teaming up for a movie. And lo and behold, The Fall Guy! With both the Barbie and Oppenheimer stars on board, it’s not just the only thing people should look out for. This movie is a rollercoaster ride of action and rom-com, ticking off every box on fans’ wish lists!
And although The Fall Guy was action-packed, Ryan Gosling did little to no stunts, thanks to his eight identical stunt doubles whom he chose to thank at a recent public appearance. The number of stunts made him feel like he was on an Avengers set, channeling his inner superhero!

David Leitch’s Fall Guy has become highly anticipated ever since its trailer was released. On top of having soring reviews from audiences and critics alike, the film has an excellent story and a dream cast. It would seem, however, that the filmmaker’s past has had a significant influence on the movie, its plot, and who he wants to feature in it.
David Leitch’s The Fall Guy
Before becoming the respected filmmaker that he is today, Leitch was a very successful and well-known stuntman. His time as one seems to have had a great impact on him as not only does it affect how he makes his movies, but also what he makes them about.

This post contains spoilers for episode 3 of "She-Hulk: Attorney at law."
"She-Hulk: Attorney At Law" isn't a show that lacks in self-awareness, that's for sure. After the premiere episode charted Jennifer Walters' (Tatiana Maslany) origin story alongside a healthy dose of Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk, the second episode (re)introduced Tim Roth's Emil Blonsky/Abomination, a holdover from 2008's "The Incredible Hulk" who many fans wouldn't have expected to see again before his appearance in "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings." Now, today's episode gifted us with yet another cameo by Wong (Benedict Wong), the Sorcerer Supreme who has now made a habit of popping up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe when you'd least expect him to. All this was wryly acknowledged early in the third episode, with She-Hulk once again breaking the fourth wall to remind viewers of exactly whose show this is.

Like so many actors before him, when Wyatt Russell first auditioned for the Disney Plus series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” he had no idea what character he was trying out to play. It was only after he landed the gig that Marvel Studios told him he’d booked the role of John Walker, who takes on the mantel of Captain America after Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) turns it down. Initially, Russell didn’t want it either.
“My first reaction was like, ‘Ewwohhh, I don’t know if I’m your guy to do that,'” Russell said over Zoom. “I kind of had some doubts.”
Eventually, Russell came around, in part, as he explained to Variety, because Marvel made clear they didn’t want him to play Steve Rogers 2.0. Based on the vituperative fan reaction so far to John Walker on the show — as Russell says, “They just hate him!

Benjamin Walker is running towards stardom. After conquering Broadway with "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," he now steps into the shoes and stovepipe hat of our 16th President in "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."
From the title you can gauge that this is no boring-ass biopic, but rather a tongue-in-cheek action extravaganza that reimagines The Great Emancipator as a monster killer of the highest caliber, and pretty handy with an ax.
We sat down with Walker in New York to discuss his take on the historical Lincoln, his upcoming monster movie "The Great Wall," and whether he could beat Steven Spielberg's Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) in a fight.
Mind if we ax you a few questions?
Hey, nice! I always thought that should have been on the poster. "You better ax somebody."
You read up on Lincoln for this role and hit the obvious Wikipedia Greatest Hits: Gettysburg Address, Lincoln/Douglas debates,...
