The Fall Guy is a movie that celebrates and spotlights the importance of stunt performers, dressed up in an entertaining action thriller that has a real commitment to giving audiences a good time. Helped along, of course, by Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. But they aren’t the only ones making this film what it is, as we had the pleasure in speaking to the supporting star Winston Duke, as well as director & producer team (and husband and wife); David Leitch and Kelly McCormick.
We speak about the roles of stunt performers, and whether they believe there could be a chance of a stunt Oscar in the foreseeable future. We speak about Spielberg seeing (and liking) the movie, while with Duke, who we could’ve spoken to for hours, we get deep into the differences between Schwarzenegger, and Stallone. Enjoy both interviews in their entirety below.
