Free Guy (2020), Movie of Action | Adventure | Comedy | Sci-Fi from USA, watch trailor

Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has no shortage of projects, thanks to his acclaimed, financially fulfilling comeback as Marvel’s recently-Fox-expatriated Merc with a Mouth. Interestingly, one addition to Reynolds’s backlog, a comedy called Free Guy, will purportedly utilize the artificial-world trope of The Truman Show with a dash of tonal dust from the Grand Theft Auto games.

Fee Guy, a 20th Century Fox comedic actioner, will see Reynolds play a bank teller living a humdrum routine life, only to learn that he is, in actuality, a background character in a violent open world video game; a world that is somehow in jeopardy and can only be saved by him. The film will be directed by Shawn Levy (the Night at the Museum films).

Free Guy Cast

Joining star Ryan Reynolds in the cast of Free Guy will be names such as Taika Waititi, newly minted Emmy winner Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Stranger Things' Joe Keery, and Channing Tatum.

Free Guy Details

Free Guy will be directed by Shawn Levy, a longtime producer, who’s directorial CV includes entries such as the trio of Night at the Museum movies, Vince Vaugh/Owen Wilson Google romp The Internship, Steve Carrell/Tina Fey rom-com Date Night, Hugh Jackman-headlined Rock'em Sock'em Robots actioner Real Steel and has been helming episodes of Netflix’s pop culture-invading horror hybrid series, Stranger Things, on which he will return next year for Season 3 episodes. He will work on Free Guy off a spec script – picked up in 2016 – written by Matt Lieberman, who’s currently attached to write projects such as the Kurt Russell comedy, The Christmas Chronicles, and the remake of the classic 1980s robot comedy, Short Circuit.
