Ryan Gosling takes on a role made famous in the 1980s by Lee Majors in the forthcoming film reboot The Fall Guy<\/em>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fresh off his scene-stealing turn<\/a> as Ken in Greta Gerwig’s smash summer hit Barbie<\/em><\/a>, Ryan Gosling takes on a different kind of iconic role as a stunt man who must find a missing movie star in The Fall Guy<\/em><\/a>. Directed by David Leitch, who also brought us the glorious John Wick<\/em><\/a> (his uncredited directorial debut with Chad Stahelski<\/a>), the film is a loose adaptation of the popular 1980s TV series of the same name<\/a> starring Lee Majors. Based on the trailer that just dropped, The Fall Guy<\/em> is a welcome throwback to the classic action comedies, giving Gosling another chance to exhibit his leading-man acting chops.<\/p>\n

Those of us of a certain age practically grew up with Majors, starting with his hit series, The Six Million Dollar Man<\/em><\/a> (1973\u20131978). The Fall Guy<\/em> debuted in 1981, in which Majors played stuntman Colt Seavers, who moonlighted as a bounty hunter with his cousin (and aspiring stuntman), Howie Munson (Douglas Barr). Heather Thomas played stuntwoman and love interest Jody Banks, and each episode featured the team engaged in action-packed adventures that conveniently made excellent use of Colt’s extensive experience and knowledge of stunts. In keeping with the theme, the introductory montage paid tribute to classic stunt scenes from Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, Silver Streak, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid<\/em>, and The Poseidon Adventure<\/em>, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
