“The Fall Guy” director David Leitch summoned his years as a stuntman to craft an action rom-com that breaks stunt records, brings epic laughs, and uses Ryan Gosling perfectly.

cut his film-industry teeth as an acclaimed stuntman, and having evolved into one of the medium’s finest action directors he now pays tribute to the art of taking a punch, rolling a car, and being set on fire withas down-on-his-luck stunt maestro Colt Seavers, who gets a second shot at beat-’em-up glory when he’s hired to work on the debut feature of Jody Moreno , the director he adores but foolishly spurned, Leitch’s summer spectacular blends comedy, romance, and mayhem to ideal...

Did you ever consider making an original film about the stunt world that wasn’t explicitly based on the show? Are you heartened that stunt performers are starting to receive more recognition, as evidenced by growing chatter about a stunt-related Oscar, and by the fact that Chris O’Hara, on this film, received the first-ever “stunt designer” credit?

We had many conversations about that opening oner with the descender. You know when you’re in a situation, you start to rationalize and negotiate, and there’s all those levels of trying to get out of a torture—there’s denial, there’s negotiation, etc. He’s like, we can use green screen and we can do this, and I’m like, we can’t do any of that.

Ryan signed on before the script; he was part of the package that we were going to make this together. But to get Emily, we had a first draft, and Kelly had this brilliant idea before we sent it to her that we needed to up the stakes for her character. We changed her from a make-up artist to a director.
