nPR member, FDIC this is FRESH Air.
I'm Terry Gross.
My guest, David Leach, is a former stuntman who directed the new film the Fall Guy, about a stuntman who ends up having to execute spectacular stunts in his real life in order to save the film he's working on, regain the love of the woman who's directing it and save his life.
Inspired by the eighties tv series the Fall Guy, Leitch's new film is a blend of action film and rom.com, starring Ryan Gosling as the stuntman and Emily Blunt as the camera operator turned director, the film is a tribute to stuntmen and the risks they take in spite of their lack of recognition.
It's the actors, the stuntmen double for who win the awards and the fans love.
In the fall, Guy, Gosling's character is the stunt double for the biggest action star on the planet, who also has one of the biggest egos.
The opening scene of the Fall Guy is a series of clips from action sequences in which the stunts include tumbling down a rocky cliff, riding a motorcycle over the roofs of several cars, each car a distance from the next, getting thrown through a bus window, running through a battlefield surrounded by explosions and getting blown off the ground.
While we watch that, we hear this voiceover narration by Ryan Gosling's character.
You'll hear lots of motors, explosions, gunfire and shattering glass.
They're in almost every move.
You just don't know that they're there cause that's the job.
