The Fall Guy,Film Premiere,SXSW

Leitch and producer Kelly McCormick also discuss finding out Steven Spielberg loved the film and give updates on ‘Nobody 2’ & ‘Violent Night 2.'

Quick Links The Big Picture One of the many films to world premiere at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, was director David Leitch and producer Kelly McCormick’s The Fall Guy . Starring Barbie’s Oscar nominee, Ryan Gosling , and The Devil Wears Prada’s, Emily Blunt , the film is based on the 1980s American action-adventure ABC-produced television series starring Lee Majors , Douglas Barr , and Heather Thomas and is getting glowing reviews.

KELLY MCCORMICK: It was like a dream come true meets like an absolute acid trip. I think, I've never done it. I've never dropped the A, but like, it was really, really amazing. You know just like Slash by the way, what?KELLY MCCORMICK: And then the Barbie faces that like became like this psychedelic sort of like swirl above him while he was being spun. What was kind of fun in the audience is you saw him tuck in and slide out and waiting for him to pop back up.

I couldn't agree more that the stunts needs to be an Oscar. I'm very happy that you guys are championing it and trying to make it happen. How happy are you that after Barbie and everything that is going on with Ryan Gosling and literally how he has taken over the zeitgeist that you are his next movie?

I was gonna also say that like originally you were coming out in March, and I agree with the move to the summer. Just because I think it's a beneficial thing, and also you get to premiere here. You're showing all the theater owners at CinemaCon. Also, people don't realize usually movies are finished at the last possible second, and everyone's rushing and stressed out.

Steven Spielberg Has Seen The Fall Guy and Loved It I know that your movie has tested very well. I know that Universal is very enthusiastic about this film, and I would imagine the premiere tonight is gonna play–What exactly is that like when something like that happens, and you're like, "Wait, what?" Also how did he see it?

DAVID LEITCH: But he's obviously an incredibly gracious man, and it was really great to hear those compliments from him. KELLY MCCORMICK: Emily has said she wants to do it until she's rolling out onto the set. Weekends at Bernie's style. I have a funny feeling this one's going to do well. Also, because I have family members who go to the movies once in a while, and they've asked me, when does this Fall Guy movie come out? And I'm like, oh, OK, it's going to be one of those movies. Ryan and Emily are movie stars.
