Universal has released the big game spot for The Fall Guy, teasing that this film has a little bit of everything anyone could want, including a Taylor Swift joke. The studio seems to have a lot of faith in this film judging by the fact that they are screening it at CinemaCon about a month before it will be released in theaters and, for a little while there, it looked like they were going to hand director David Leitch the reigns to the new Jurassic World film. You don't almost get that job unless people have faith you can pull it off, and Universal must believe Leitch has pulled it off with this film. It's still a bit too early to tell one way or another if this movie will be good. Leitch has been a bit inconsistent in terms of quality, but it has a fantastic cast and a premise that really leans into Leitch's roots as a stuntman. This one has a pretty massive and expensive question mark hanging over it, so we'll see what happens in May.
