As a huge fan of action-packed movies with a dash of comedy, I’m thrilled to hear that “The Fall Guy,” starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, will soon be available to stream at home on Peacock with 20 minutes of new scenes not previously seen in theaters. Having grown up watching stuntmen perform death-defying feats on television, I can’t wait to witness the extended cut of this film, which promises more action, stunts, romance, and “more sexy bacon!”
Starting August 30, you can easily watch “The Fall Guy” with all its thrilling stunts on Peacock from the comfort of your own home.
Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s action-comedy film, which is an extended version with additional 20-minute scenes, will be available on Peacock on the same day as its theatrical release. The extended cut of “The Fall Guy,” titled “The Fall Guy: Extended Cut,” offers more thrilling actions, captivating stunts, deepened romance, and even more tantalizing “sexy bacon” scenes for a runtime of 146 minutes, as announced by NBCUniversal.
Under David Leitch’s direction, “The Fall Guy” became available on VOD about a month after its cinema premiere. With a combined total of $28.5 million earned during its first weekend in the U.S., this action-comedy fell short of its anticipated $30-$40 million opening. The film’s production budget was estimated to be between $125 million and $150 million, while its global earnings have since grown to a total of $171.8 million.
In a new role, Gosling portrays Colt Seavers, a skilled Hollywood stuntman who is forced to quit following an accident on set. However, when the leading actor for an upcoming movie, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, goes missing before filming begins, Colt is drawn back into the entertainment world to help find him. The director of this project is none other than his former lover, Blunt.
Drawing inspiration from the 1980s television show with the same title that revolves around stunt artists, Universal Pictures handles the film’s distribution. The ensemble includes Stephanie Hsu, Teresa Palmer, Hannah Waddingham, and Winston Duke in addition to the main cast.
In an interview with EbMaster in May, Kelly McCormick, who is married to Leitch and co-produced the movie through their production company 87North Productions, referred to Leitch as a “maximalist” with great enthusiasm. (Or: Leitch, who previously worked as a stunt performer and produces movies with his wife Kelly McCormick via their production company 87North Productions, was labeled as a ‘maximalist’ by McCormick in her interview with EbMaster in May.)
“For him, having more is always better, and you can’t predict whether you’ll end up laughing or crying with each new turn,” McCormick explained.
In his film critique, EbMaster’s critic Peter Debruge expressed: “If this movie seems excessively packed, it’s because Leitch aims to serve the audience a generous helping, rather than a mere sample. Ultimately, we’re left in admiration for the complexity and challenge of crafting such thrilling action scenes.”
