Amazon MGM is bringing together two of Hollywood’s most charismatic stars for a high-octane buddy comedy with a twist. Ryan Gosling and Will Ferrell are set to headline ‘Tough Guys,’ an action-comedy centred on two henchmen who’ve had enough of life in the shadows — and are ready to flip the script.
Written by Daniel Gold as a spec script, ‘Tough Guys’ follows two low-level enforcers who, after years of being treated as expendable, break free from the criminal underworld. Their mission? Abandon their ruthless boss and survive the elite assassin now hunting them down. It’s a sharp, genre-bending premise blending explosive action with irreverent humour — tailor-made for its stars.

Gosling, currently in talks to produce the film, will do so under his General Admission banner alongside producing partner Jessie Henderson. Meanwhile, Ferrell is negotiating to produce through his Gloria Sanchez Productions, teaming once again with longtime collaborator Jessica Elbaum.
Underground’s Trevor Engelson and Aaron Folbe are also attached to executive produce the project.
Production details and a release timeline are still under wraps.
