The Fall Guy: Dragging Ryan Gosling Across A Bridge At 30MPH

The Fall Guy is a movie about stunts and stunt performers, but that doesn't mean that star Ryan Gosling didn't get his hands dirty, either. There are lots of reasons that actors don't do their own stunts, but some of them do like to do stuff when they can. According to a new interview with […]

Abigail is a project that feels like it came out of nowhere, but it looks like a lot of fun.
