The Fall Guy is a popular action comedy film starring Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling. It has already garnered an eager fan base even before its release - not only because of its star-studded cast but also owing in part to the fast-paced and humor-packed storyline. The Fall Guy has also gone on to break a Guinness World Record, namely, for the biggest number of action rolls that had been performed in a car.
The story centers around an action choreographer who works with a famous actor for whom he had coincidentally doubled some time back. The plot follows the aftermath of the actor's sudden disappearance, which forces the choreographer to try and find him, and in effect leads him to become the hero and star of his own story.
The film is scheduled for an Australian release on April 24. Moviegoers in the United Kingdom and the United States of America can watch The Fall Guy on May 2 and 3 respectively.

The Fall Guy cast
Ryan Gosling plays the role of Colt, a seasoned action choreographer while Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to play the famous actor or star Tom Ryder whom Gosling's character doubles for. The film that Ryder enacts is being directed by Ryder's ex-girlfriend Jody Moreno, who is played by Emily Blunt.
Beyond that, Winston Duke plays an important albeit recurring role in the role of Fan Tucker. Tucker is the best friend of Colt Seavers and has the in-universe job of coordinating stunts. Beyond that Hannah Waddingham and Stephanie Hsu appear as Gail Meyer and Alma Milan respectively. Finally Teresa Palmer, as well as Lee Majors whom fans might remember from the original tv series also appear.
What is The Fall Guy based on?
The Fall Guy was originally a television series that had achieved popularity in the 1980s, and that show featured stunt performers. The 2024 storyline is loosely based on that. The original series starred Douglas Barr, Lee Majors, and Heather Thomas in the role of stunt performers in Hollywood who also lead double lives as bounty hunters.
The unique premise, of an action choregrapher who has found a different function for his set of skills was intriguing enough that it warranted a loose retelling. Ryan Gosling takes over from Lee Majors in the new leading role but faithfully remains true to the spirit of the latter's character.
Where is The Fall Guy filmed?
The movie was filmed primarily in Australia, specifically in Moore, Park at Disney Studios Australia. As such, due to filming the scenes with Ryan Gosling, the Sydney Harbour Bridge had been closed for many daytime hours. The film was notable for its use of practical stunts.
Dominic Lewis and Blake Shelton contributed to the soundtrack for the film.
The Fall Guy had its international premiere in March of 2024. Despite having an original release date of March 1, 2024, there was a postponement before the movie could formally open in theatres across the globe.
Shortly afterward, on April 8, 2024, Universal released the film as a part of their CinemaCon panel. Now, it is set to arrive in theatres in the USA on May 3.
