Shawn Levy is at the helm for Free Guy, and he’s excited for people to get to see the film.
“On a very literal level, Free Guy is about Guy, who’s a bank teller. He works in a bank, and his bank gets robbed 17 times in a day, and eventually, he realizes that’s weird and not normal,” Levy told the Hollywood Reporter. “Ryan and I have talked about Free Guy as a superhero origin story without the cape and tights and the IP. If you were living in a video game and could master the system, your powers would be limitless.”
Joe Keery is also along for the ride. He likened the film to The Truman Show and other takes on adjusted reality.
“That was one of the things that when friends would ask me what the movie was about, I would say, ‘Yeah, it’s Truman Show meets maybe a little Back to the Future in there, maybe a little Ready Player One in there,’” Keery shared. “Yeah, it was a real blessing working with Ryan, though. He’s like, the nicest dude I’ve ever met in my entire life.”
“There aren’t so many films these days that aren’t based on something else, and when I read it originally, that’s just so appealing, I think, to work on something that’s new and something that’s original and to have some real creative control, obviously,” Keery said at CCXP. “It was really just an honor to be a part of it and I’m so excited for all of you guys to see it. It’s going to be such a blast, I can’t wait.”
A short synopsis is attached below:
A bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, decides to become the hero of his own story…one he rewrites himself. Now in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way… before it is too late.
Free Guy opens on December 11.
