Free Guy

March 29, 2017

From director Shawn Levy (Date Night, The Internship), Free Guy is a 2021 action comedy from a screenplay by Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn. The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Joe Keery, and Taika Waititi.

Free Guy tells the story of a bank teller who discovers that he's actually an NPC inside a brutal, open world video game. I am a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi, but after the first trailer I wasn’t sure about this movie. Well after watching the most recent trailers, my thoughts have changed and I cannot wait for this!

After 3 delays due to COVID-19, Free Guy is finally set to hit theaters August 13th. Watch the official trailers below.
