A few days ago, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt paid tribute to the stunt profession at the Oscars. Their new film Fall Guy, which will be released in France at the beginning of May, is actually a tribute to this profession.
“We’re here to celebrate the stunt community, which has been a crucial part of our industry since the beginning of cinema. True, they’re the heroes we’ll never know, risking life and limb for cinema.
Chaplin, Lloyd, Keaton… all the stuntmen are really the oxygen of the story’s action. The Academy’s history is steeped in the fierce dedication of the stunt community. Every award season we see their work in this genre.
To all the stunt performers and stunt coordinators who help make this movie magic, we salute
From Butch Cassidy to Black Panther, from deep space to battlefields and beyond, stunt performers and the action scenes they create are some of the most memorable moments in cinematic history.
And they do it from the beginning. To all the stunt performers and stunt coordinators who help make this movie magic, we salute you.“
Spectacular video with barrel recording
While the Fall Guy movie is being promoted, the team has shared a spectacular video in which we see a stuntman from the movie doing a barrel roll. as reported variety, this trick is exactly the record that surpasses the previous record held by Casino Royale. This record is registered in the Guinness Book, as evidenced by the video found above.
As Ryan Gosling explained, Logan Holladay performed a series of rolls, exactly 8.5 laps, which is a record. That’s more than Casino Royale, which previously held the record.
Fall Guy is a stunt story, and like all stunts, he gets shot, blown up, dragged, thrown out of windows, and always falls higher and higher… much to the public’s delight. After an accident that nearly ends his career, this anonymous movie hero must find a missing star, foil a plot, and try to win back the woman of his life, all while braving death every day on set. What’s the worst that could happen to him? Director David Leitch’s film (Bullet Train) will be released on May 1.
