We're sure you've heard about Free Guy by now. It's a fresh effort from 20th Century Fox to make a decent movie about video games, and hey, maybe it'll work this time. It stars Ryan Reynolds as a no-name NPC in what seems to be an online, open-world game akin to GTA Online. The story gets going when he discovers his life is a fabrication, and he decides to go off the rails to fight back.
Reynolds is also credited as producer on the flick, while Shawn Levy steps into the director role. Alongside the Deadpool actor will be co-stars Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Taika Waititi. The film is looking absolutely mad, and probably won't be more than a cheesy summer popcorn distraction. Still, it should provide a fun couple of hours when it hits theatres in July 2020.
What do you think of Free Guy? Are you excited to catch this video game movie next summer? Break the bank in the comments below.

Interesting concept and looks like my favourite type of fun - dumb fun!
This should be alot of fun. I enjoy Ryan Reynolds films and so far this is nailing the open world nature of video games. Only concern is after the initial turn in the bank. When the story truly kicks in
I want a pair of HUD glasses.
So GTA Online: The Movie.
Huh, they think they are going to get me with that?
...OF-F******-COURSE THEY ARE!
Would be funny if at the end of the movie he gets patched out, haha!

Oh man, I'd heard of this but had no idea what this was about - probably also confusing it with the other Ryan Reynolds movie coming out. This seems like the role he was born to play, the role he basically plays in everything - disruption. Now I can't wait.
Flop incoming as a maybe comedy short you could make it work as many of the indy guys on YouTube frequently do but as a big budget full length feature this is gonna stink as bad as RIPD. Sad really, the money they spent in this they could have made an epic scale lord of the rings type dragon age/dragons dogma or even a mass effect film like startrek/starwars but for adults but no we get Ryan Reynolds in a live action gta.
I need a fantasy version of this
