Ryan Gosling’s The Fall Guy seems to have had a rough run at the box office. Based on the TV show of the same name, the film followed Gosling as a stuntman who gets involved in a conspiracy involving the lead actor of a film directed by his ex-girlfriend, played by Emily Blunt. The action comedy was directed by David Leitch, who last helmed Bullet Train.
Gosling’s film reportedly only earned a meager $145 million against a $127 million budget, making it a box office bomb. While the film received positive responses from fans and critics, author Stephen King seemed to have had a mixed reaction to the film. He reportedly disagreed with a review of the film that called it ‘great fun’.

Warner Bros. has hired Peter O’Brien (Halo: Reach) to write Todd Phillips' thriller Trust Your Eyes. The movie is based on the book written by Linwood Barclay. The story is a conspiracy thriller that's a cross between Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window and Barry Levinson's Rain Man. It centers on "a schizophrenic, map-obsessed savant who witnesses a murder online on Manhattan's Lower East Side. He insists that his older brother investigate, and it's not long before the siblings cross paths with a politically-connected ex-cop and his ice pick-wielding henchwoman, who are themselves scrambling to clean up after a high-stakes screwup."
This could end up being a great film. Phillips is mostly known for making comedies like The Hangover, but I can see him branching out into different genres. He seems like the kind of filmmaker that has a wide range of talent. O'Brien is best known for...

For the entirety of his career, Todd Phillips has been responsible for medium-concept, ridiculously successful male-centric comedies. But once he puts the finishing touches on his third Hangover movie, which has circled a May 24, 2013 release date, it.s sounding like Phillips will attempt to go in a completely different direction, tonally speaking. Phillips. name is attached to an adaptation of Linwood Barclay.s Trust Your Eyes, a paranoid thriller about a schizophrenic savant who witnesses a murder, but is not trusted by the authorities as a credible source because he.s evidently insane. Every review of Eyes links it back to Alfred Hitchcock.s Rear Window, which sounds great. And now Deadline says Warner Bros. and Phillips have hired screenwriter Peter O.Brien to attack the script. Black List trackers might know O.Brien for his treatment of Unlocked, about a CIA interrogator who unwittingly unleashes a biological attack on...
