“#Ryan Gosling Teams with Deadpool 2 Director for Stuntman Drama<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nTwo-time Oscar nominee, Ryan Gosling<\/em><\/strong>, has signed on to star in an untitled stuntman drama from Deadpool 2<\/em> director David Leitch. After a heated auction, the movie has now landed at Universal Pictures, with the studio reportedly beating out Netflix, MGM, Sony and Lionsgate.<\/p>\n

Leitch is teaming up once again with screenwriter Drew Pearce for the Ryan Gosling Stuntman Drama<\/em><\/strong>, with the pair having recently worked together on the action-packed Fast and Furious<\/em> spin-off, Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw<\/em>. Gosling will produce the project alongside Leitch and his 87North partner Kelly McCormick, as well as Guymon Casady of Entertainment 360, which is the content arm of Management 360.<\/p>\n

Not much is yet known about the project other than the plot’s focus on a stuntman, with the movie believed to be in the same vein as the 1980s television series<\/a>, The Fall Guy<\/em><\/strong>, if not in fact an outright adaptation. For those unaware, The Fall Guy<\/em> follows Hollywood stuntman, Colt Seavers, who makes extra cash by moonlighting as a bounty hunter when movie stunt work runs low. Using his rough-and-tumble skills to track and capture bail jumpers, Seavers is helped on his bounty hunting adventures by his younger cousin, Howie, and Jody, a beautiful stunt colleague. The show ran from 1981 to 1986 and starred Lee Majors as Colt Seavers.<\/p>\n

Whether the Gosling-Leitch project is related to The Fall Guy<\/em> or not remains to be seen, but with the app<\/a>etite for 80s reboots at an all-time high, and with The Fall Guy’s<\/em> delightful concept ripe for an action movie update, even a loose adaptation fronted by Gosling and helmed by David Leitch<\/em><\/strong> makes a lot of sense.
\n
\nIn any case, the project is likely a very personal one for Leitch, who worked as a former stuntman himself before moving into directing. He and fellow stuntman Chad Stahelski teamed up to co-direct the first John Wick back in 2014, and since then both of their filmmaking careers have taken off. Leitch helmed the excellent 80s-set spy thriller, Atomic Blonde<\/em>, with Charlize Theron before moving into the comic book genre for stellar sequel, Deadpool 2<\/em>. Leitch’s most recent foray into the action movie world saw the director working with genre icons Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham in Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw<\/em>. The spin-off was a huge financial success, with a sequel quickly confirmed.<\/p>\n

Gosling meanwhile is no stranger to playing a stuntman, with the actor having already played similar roles first in director Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive<\/em> in 2011, and then a year later in 2012’s The Place Beyond the Pines<\/em>. The former saw Gosling’s stuntman moonlighting as a getaway driver, while the latter saw Gosling as a stunt rider who’s foray into robbery sets him on a collision course with a police officer.<\/p>\n

Aside from teaming up for this stuntman movie, both Leitch and Gosling have several intriguing projects on the horizon. Leitch is currently prepping the action movie Bullet Train<\/em> starring Brad Pitt and Joey King, as well as working on the action drama The Division<\/em> with Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal, while Gosling is set to star opposite Marvel star Chris Evans in Netflix’s The Gray Man<\/em>, and as Wolfman<\/em> for director Leigh Whannell.
