If you remember classic TV series The Fall Guy, starring Lee Majors, then you’ll be interested to learn that a movie inspired by the show is in the works. Not only that, but it boasts a couple of big names in Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.

If you’re too young to recall The Fall Guy or if the old memory isn’t what it used to be, the show focused on Hollywood stuntman Colt Seavers, who earned some extra-dosh by using his physical skills and knowledge of stunt effects to catch bail jumpers. He was accompanied by his younger cousin, Howie, and stunt colleague Jody, played by Heather Thomas. 

Now, a new movie, which is inspired by the 1980s show, is being directed by David Leitch, who has recently helmed Bullet Train, starring Brad Pitt. Leitch himself is a veteran stunt performer, so seems ideally suited to take on this project. He is also producing the film, with partner Kelly McCormick.

With Ryan Gosling already having signed up, Deadline now reports that Emily Blunt is also on board for the film.

Plot details are unknown at this time, but production for the film is due to start in Australia later this year, with a release date slated for 1st March, 2024.

If you don’t want to wait that long to get some Ryan Gosling in your life, then you can catch him right now in new action movie The Gray Man, which is streaming now on Netflix.

And before The Fall Guy lands, Gosling will be in another eagerly-anticipated film. The Hollywood star is set to star alongside Margo Robbie in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

Meanwhile, Emily Blunt has recently featured in the Quiet Place sequel and Disney’s Jungle Cruise, and is set to appear in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie Oppenheimer.
