The Fall Guy Director David Leitch returned to Sydney this week, going to new heights to promote the film during the Australian Press Tour

To mark the start of the global press tour for The Fall Guy in Sydney, director David Leitch went to new heights to promote the film earlier this week with a larger-than-life, never-been-done-before stunt on top of the Glebe Island Silos, the largest billboard in the Southern Hemisphere.

Alongside producer Kelly McCormick, Leitch reunited with his Aussie stunt team who worked on the film to mark the occasion, with an impressive display of stunt coordination and skill, at 34 metres high above Sydney. Returning to the city where the film was shot, Leitch and his stunt team performed a heart-stopping stunt sequence to the spectacular backdrop of the city, which included abseiling down the billboard before a daring fight sequence unfolded.

Boasting an all-star cast including Oscar® nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land, Drive), Oscar® nominee Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place films, Sicario), Emmy® winner Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) and Golden Globe® winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train), the hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller is a love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them.

THE FALL GUY releases in Australian cinemas April 24.
Tickets are now on sale.

Trailer files, poster and film stills can also be downloaded from UPI Media

About the Film 

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 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 Golden Globe winner 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 Winston Duke (Black Panther franchise) and Academy Award® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once).

From a screenplay by Hobbs & Shaw screenwriter Drew Pearce, The Fall Guy is produced by Kelly McCormick (Bullet Train, Nobody, Atomic Blonde) and David Leitch for their company 87North, and by Ryan Gosling and by Guymon Casady (Game of Thrones, Steve Jobs and executive producer of the upcoming series Ripley) for Entertainment 360. The film is executive produced by Drew Pearce, Entertainment 360’s Geoff Shaevitz and the creator of the original Fall Guy television series, Glen A. Larson.
