Action maestro David Leitch is known for his dedication to jaw-dropping stunts. Having himself been a stuntman before becoming a director, Leitch brings a unique perspective to the genre.
In his latest film, The Fall Guy, Leitch isn’t just pushing the boundaries of action; he’s also revisiting some of his most iconic work.
According to a recent interview, Leitch revealed that The Fall Guy features a homage to his stunt work in The Bourne Ultimatum. He even went so far as to include a clip of the unforgettable stunt sequence in his new film.
Leitch reminisced about his experience working with Gary Powell on The Bourne Ultimatum, describing it as an incredibly challenging but rewarding time. He specifically mentioned a scene where he was strapped into a car that exploded in a fiery blast.
His decision to include this clip in The Fall Guy serves a dual purpose. It pays tribute to his stuntman roots and the legacy of The Bourne Ultimatum while also likely setting the stage for a similarly intense stunt sequence in his new film.
Fans of Leitch’s work can expect The Fall Guy to deliver the action-packed thrills they crave, along with a healthy dose of nostalgia for those who remember the brutal effectiveness of The Bourne Ultimatum’s stunts. Here’s a video sharing
Director David Leitch reveals that Ryan Gosling had a major influence on his character in The Fall Guy. Initially envisioned as a film noir, Gosling’s desire to showcase his full acting range – romance, comedy, and action – led the project to evolve into a more lighthearted action-comedy with a romantic element.
Leitch highlights the collaborative nature of the filmmaking process, with Gosling’s input shaping the character and the overall direction of the movie.
