The Fall Guywhich tells the story of Ryan Gosling’s down-and-out stuntman, fully embraced the action at its Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday, with stuntmen fighting, falling and riding motorcycles down the red carpet.
Held at the Dolby Theatre, the premiere turned Hollywood Boulevard into its own movie set, as two stuntmen wheeled their motorbikes down the press line, followed by another who jumped from a multi-story platform onto the carpet. Put at the entrance. Next, Gosling stood between two of the film’s stunt doubles — all dressed in matching suits — as the actors rehearsed the steps. Later, three stuntmen break the glass to enter the carpet and fight each other in front of the crowd. And just before the screening, another jumped down from the Dolby balcony onto the stage to join the cast.
Gosling – who, on top of that, appeared alongside Mickey Day as Beaves and Butthead, Saturday Night Live “Obviously, this is a love letter to the stunt community, they’re the hardest working people in show business,” he told the audience in a sketch he aired earlier this month, before returning to his suit. .They take more risks than anyone. This movie is just a big stunt to win an Oscar (the Academy doesn’t currently recognize the stunt category).
“I don’t know what to say, how do you thank someone who set you on fire eight times, jumped out of a helicopter, rolled a car eight times for you – that’s just one of those things.” What they’ve done for us, what they contribute to cinema, what they risk to all of us,” the star continued. “It’s really an honor to be a part of something like that To be the one that tells your story in some small way.”
The film follows Gosling’s Colt Sivers, who has retired from business but returns to find his ex-girlfriend (played by Emily Blunt), the missing star of a blockbuster movie. On the carpet, Blunt reflected on why she thinks stunt people have been underappreciated for so long.
“I think we’re all really surprised by that because he’s the unsung hero of our industry, I don’t know why he lives in the shadows. Maybe it’s his incredible humility and the fact that he maintains a mystery for the audience. Want to keep, give the audience a sense of wonder that it’s the actor doing it,” he said The Hollywood Reporter. “But I just feel like we’re past that time, there’s no mystery to making movies anymore. We see behind the scenes of the artificial objects and all that, so why don’t we see behind the scenes of what these How is a stunt designed by incredible actors?
Gosling has five stunt doubles in the film, but he does some of the work himself, including a 12-story fall. Director David Leach (himself a former stuntman) and producer Kelly McCormick reflected on the decision to do the stunt for him, as McCormick said, “It was really one of the Colt Sivers experiences for him. The big gauntlet was. And the day he did it, I was probably bawling my eyes out because I was watching from the bottom and he was so high. I trust the system and I trust the team, but about that I was so emotional and beautiful that he also trusts them and goes out there and goes for it, as tall as he is.
“It was really thrilling and kind of like the moment we knew he was really fully embracing the character,” Leitch added. “He was a great partner all the way through the film and it was a physical display of that. He was ready to do any stunt we asked him to do.
