We recently noted that modern red carpetry is getting increasingly gimmicky, but we want to follow that up by saying we don’t actually mind most of it. This is Hollywood, after all. A premiere is about promotion and commerce intersecting with entertainment. It’s not the Met Gala or Buckingham Palace. Flash is to be expected. Stunts – in every sense of the word – are becoming de rigueur. The LA premiere of The Fall Guy came complete with flame spouts, motorcycle races, staged fistfights and broken glass. No, really:

Also, this happened:
Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day on a premiere red carpet dressed as Beavis and Butthead is objectively hilarious and there’s no way you’ll hear us complain about it. Well, that’s not quite true. We’d probably have a bit more to say if this was the only outfit Gosling wore for the premiere, but thankfully, he had a Gucci in his back pocket.
We have a sudden hankering for sherbet.
RYAN GOSLING IN GUCCI
His monochromatic Gucci suit ensembles are eventually going to get tired, but we can’t blame a guy for sticking with what works. We’re just happy that he’s cycling through several colors instead of wearing the same one over and over. We’re also happy to see the white shoes. Too many guys – him included – default to black shoes for light-colored suits. This looks so much better to our eyes.
EMILY BLUNT IN ARMANI PRIVÉ
This is the best she’s looked on a red carpet in a while. The color really sings on her. Still, we take issue with all the parts of the dress that make it interesting, like the asymmetrical bust, that very heavy-looking strap, the cutout, and the hem length. Besides all that, she looks great! Actually, in spite of all that. The sum is more than its parts and the overall effect really works.
ABOUT THE MOVIE:
– He’s a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?
– From real life stunt man and director David Leitch, the blockbuster director of Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and the producer of John Wick, Nobody and Violent Night, comes his most personal film yet. A new hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller and love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them: The Fall Guy.
Oscar® nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land, Drive) stars as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie—being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, played by Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place films, Sicario)—goes missing.
– While the film’s ruthless producer (Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham; Ted Lasso), maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder (Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson; Bullet Train) a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody’s good graces. But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt will find himself ensnared in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.
– Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series, The Fall Guy also stars Winston Duke (Black Panther franchise) and Academy Award® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
– From a screenplay by Hobbs & Shaw screenwriter Drew Pearce, The Fall Guy is produced by Kelly McCormick (Bullet Train, Nobody, Atomic Blonde) and David Leitch for their company 87North, and by Ryan Gosling and by Guymon Casady (Game of Thrones, Steve Jobs and executive producer of the upcoming series Ripley) for Entertainment 360. The film is executive produced by Drew Pearce, Entertainment 360’s Geoff Shaevitz and the creator of the original Fall Guy television series, Glen A. Larson.
– Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Winston Duke, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Hannah Waddingham, Stephanie Hsu
– Directed By David Leitch
