The Fall Guy Sets A New Guinness World Record In Car Stunt Featurette

May starts with a bang as two of the biggest stars from last year&rsquo;s infamous &lsquo;Barbenheimer&rsquo; join forces in the inspired action rom-com, The Fall Guy. This brand new Hollywood blockbuster is a love letter to stunt work, and it features hilarious performances from everyone&rsquo;s favourite Ken, Ryan Gosling, and the forever charming Emily Blunt. Many highly anticipated sequels and prequels are also coming out this month as the following weekend brings the Planet of the Apes back to the big screen after eight years. Set 300 years post Caesar, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will be the epic continuation of this historic franchise. Things don&rsquo;t stop there as Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga also speeds into theatres towards the end of the month. It&rsquo;s hard to believe it&rsquo;s been almost a decade since Charlize Theron originated Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road. Now, Anya Taylor-Joy will take over the role in this unmissable origin story, which also stars an unrecognizable Chris Hemsworth. Keeping the party going that same weekend is Hit Man. This steamy and surprisingly comedic thriller sees Glen Powell return to theatres in a film that blew audiences during its festival circuit last year. &nbsp;
Looking for a movie the entire family will enjoy? From imaginary friends to everyone&rsquo;s favourite lasagna-loving, Monday-hating cat, May has some fantastic choices for audiences of all ages. IF is a live-action/3D-animated comedy from the mind of John Krasinski that finds Ryan Reynolds teaming up with a young girl who develops the ability to see people&rsquo;s imaginary friends. Audiences can also look forward to The Garfield Movie, a brand-new animated adventure where Garfield must work with his long-lost father to pull off the ultimate heist. 
That&rsquo;s not even close to everything coming out this May. Read on to see the entire list of must-see movies coming to Cineplex theatres throughout the month!

<h2><a href="https://www.cineplex.com/movie/tarot" title="" target="">Tarot</a></h2>
Starring: Jacob Batalon, Avantika Vandanpu, Harriet Slater

The horror genre has been unstoppable this year, and the scares are only getting bigger from here. Kicking off the month is Tarot, a supernatural horror movie based on a cult-classic thriller novel from the early 90s, Horrorscope. The film follows a group of college friends who organize a night of Tarot readings. In a not-so-shocking turn of events, things become deadly when they unknowingly violate the sacred rule of using Tarot Cards&ndash; never use someone else&rsquo;s deck. Now haunted by a menacing spirit they accidentally unleashed, these friends must race against death to escape their foretold fates. Tarot marks the feature directorial debut of Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg, who also co-wrote the script with Nicholas Adams, the author of the film&rsquo;s source material.&nbsp;

If horror isn&rsquo;t your thing, that&rsquo;s okay! From the man behind the John Wick franchise (Leitch), The Fall Guy also comes out on the first weekend of May and will provide all the thrills without any of the fright. In this loose adaptation of a 1980s TV series, Gosling and Blunt star as stunt performer Colt Seavers and camera operator Jody Moreno&ndash; an ex-couple who must put aside their history and remain professional while working on set for Moreno&rsquo;s directorial debut. Seavers is a stunt actor for one of the biggest action stars in the world, Tom Ryder (Taylor-Johnson), but is thrust out of his Hollywood comfort zone when a conspiracy unravels with Ryder smack in the centre. Audiences who caught the film&rsquo;s world premiere at SXSW earlier this year praised the movie for its comedy, romance, and heart-pounding action. Make sure to see it on the largest screen possible!

Less than a week later, one of the longest-running movie franchises in cinema history is returning to theatres with its 10th feature film installment, spanning 55 years. The beloved reboot trilogy, which started in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, introduced audiences to Caesar. Over three films, we watched this hyper-intelligent chimpanzee grow from a baby into a mature leader fighting for peace between all humans and apes. Nearly 300 years after Caesar&rsquo;s death, the virus responsible for wiping out most of the population and increasing ape intelligence has mutated. Humans have become primitive and mute, much like they were depicted in the original 1968 film. When Proximus Caesar (Durand), the new Ape King, begins twisting Caesar&rsquo;s teachings to gain more power, a Chimpanzee hunter named Noa (Teague) sets out on a harrowing journey with a young human (Allan) that will change the fate of the entire planet.

<h2><a href="https://www.cineplex.com/search?q=IF&amp;openTM=true" title="" target="">IF</a></h2>

John Krasinski, best known as Jim Halpert from The Office (U.S.) and the filmmaker behind the A Quiet Place series, continues to prove his imagination is limitless. His latest movie, IF (short for imaginary friend), is a heartwarming love letter to anyone who still has their inner child and a wild imagination. Like Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Krasinski uses a mixture of live-action and animated characters to realize this larger-than-life world fully. Everyone has had an imaginary friend at one point or another, and IF explores what happens to those friends when we forget them. When a young girl named Bea (Fleming) discovers she can see other people&rsquo;s IFs, she teams up with her neighbour, Cal (Reynolds), who shares the same ability, to help IFs find new kids; otherwise, they&rsquo;ll disappear forever. If the live-action cast isn&rsquo;t exciting enough, IF also features the voices of actors like Steve Carell, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Maya Rudolph, Sam Rockwell, Sebastian Maniscalco, Blake Lively, Bradley Cooper, and George Clooney.

<h2><a href="https://www.cineplex.com/movie/back-to-black">Back to Black&nbsp;</a></h2>
Starring: Marisa Abela, Jack O&rsquo;Connell, Leslie Manville, Eddie Marsan

Named after one of the most acclaimed records from one of the most talented artists in music history, Back to Black is a biographical drama following the life and career of Amy Winehouse. This moving film will finally explore Whinehouse&rsquo;s extraordinary and tragic story through her eyes as it chronicles her early life in Camden Town, London, her tumultuous on/off-again relationship with Blake Fielder-Civill, and how she created a 13-times Platinum album that made her a music legend. Marisa Abela, who plays Amy, performs many of the singer's biggest hits throughout the movie, including &ldquo;Rehab,&rdquo; &ldquo;Valerie,&rdquo; &ldquo;Love Is a Losing Game,&rdquo; and the album&rsquo;s title song, &ldquo;Back to Black.&rdquo;

The Strangers: Chapter 1 is the haunting first installment in a trilogy of home invasion horror movies, with Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 expected to be released later this year. All three parts were filmed back-to-back in Bratislava, Slovakia and are a collective reimagining of the terrifying 2008 film of the same name. The original movie starred Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman as a couple fighting off masked intruders from their remote summer home. This time, a girl named Maya (Petsch) and her longtime boyfriend, Ryan (Gutierrez), decide to drive across Canada to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. On their way to a fresh start, their car breaks down, forcing them to stay overnight in an Airbnb, far from help. When three psychotic strangers in nightmarish masks show up at their doorstep, the couple must work together to escape before they&rsquo;re killed.

Everybody hates Mondays, but no one hates them as much as Garfield. Based on the Jim Davis comic strip from the 1970s, The Garfield Movie is a hilariously updated take on the classic character that finds him away from his favourite lasagna-stained recliner on a thrilling new adventure. Voiced by Chris Pratt, Garfield is forced from his cushy lifestyle with his owner, John (Holt), into the hands of his estranged father, a hardened street cat named Vic (Jackson). Joined by his lovable and naive best friend, Garfield and Odie (Guill&eacute;n) become Vic&rsquo;s accessories in a bonkers, high-stakes heist that will leave you smiling from ear to ear. This colourful animated comedy will be an unforgettable time at the movies for the entire family!

It&rsquo;s time for Mad Max fans to start their engines! Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga sees George Miller return to the director&rsquo;s chair after knocking the epic Mad Max: Fury Road out of the park in 2015. While Mad Max has been around since 1979, Miller surprised fans when he introduced a completely original character that proved far more popular than the titular one. Initially portrayed by Charlize Theron, Furiosa was an officer who turned against her master to free his five enslaved wives. After the success of Fury Road, many wondered how Furiosa became the determined anti-hero depicted in the movie, to which Miller revealed he&rsquo;d already written a script that explores her origin story. This is that story&hellip; Set 20 years or so before the events of Fury Road, a young Furiosa (Taylor-Joy) is kidnapped from her family at the Green Place of Many Mothers by the Warlord Dementus to be in his horde of bikers. She will devote the rest of her life to finding her way home.

After his recent rom-com hit, Anyone But You, Glen Powell is back on the big screen but in a very different way. From acclaimed director Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Dazed and Confused), Hit Man is a brilliant noir thriller and one of the best movies of the year. Powell and Linklater co-wrote the script, and, despite the title, the film follows an average philosophy professor named Gary Johnson (Powell). Busy taking care of his cats and pupils, Gary has never experienced the thrilling side of life. To fix this, he volunteers to help the police with surveillance during sting operations, but when the undercover hitman fails to arrive for a job, Gary decides to take his place. Gary continues to work as a fake hitman, noticing the exciting changes coinciding with his life. However, things get complicated when Gary begins falling for Madison (Ajorna), a beautiful, down-on-her-luck woman who hires him to murder her husband. Hit Man premiered at last year&rsquo;s Venice International Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival, where it received universal praise for its dynamically dark story, outstanding performances, and constant laughs.

2024 has been a great year for movie lovers, and plenty more imaginative, adventure-filled, big-budget popcorn flicks are coming to Cineplex theatres this month.

</ul>
It's been some time since the reboot of 20th Century's Planet of the Apes began in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. That film introduced many moviegoers to one of the longest-running franchises in cinema history. Starting in 1968, Planet of the Apes has become a cultural phenomenon that spawned four sequels, two T.V. shows, a remake, and a beloved reboot film series. This Hollywood science fiction series is monumental, and we thought there'd be no better way to prepare fans for the latest installment than by taking a much-needed look back on the history of Planet of the Apes.
Until now, the reboot films have been vastly different from the original series, which ran from 1968 to 1973, as well as the 2001 Tim Burton/Mark Wahlberg remake. Those six films rely heavily on time travel as a narrative device, while the rebooted films explore the same events but in chronological order. Although the original movies and remake aren&rsquo;t canon in the rebooted universe, the newer films have directly referenced and, in some cases, significantly improved major plot points from the older films.
We expect this latest movie won't be any different, so we put together a comprehensive guide to the entire Planet of the Apes franchise to give you a full breakdown before the highly anticipated Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes hits theatres!

<h5>20th Century Studios</h5>
THE ORIGINAL SERIES
<ul>
<li>Planet of the Apes (1968)</li>
<li>Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)</li>
<li>Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)</li>
<li>Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)</li>
<li>Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)</li>
</ul>
Even though many view the original Planet of the Apes films as somewhat outdated, they were responsible for popularizing several familiar sci-fi story tropes and filmmaking techniques still used in Hollywood. The original series comprises five films that follow two timelines. The first begins in Planet of the Apes and continues in the sequel Beneath the Planet of the Apes before the timeline is reset for the following three films.
For those who don&rsquo;t know, Planet of the Apes is a loose adaptation of a 1963 French novel by Pierre Boulle, La Plan&egrave;te des singes. The book sets up the franchise outline, which takes form in the first film starring Charlton Heston as Captain Taylor, an astronaut who crash lands on a seemingly ordinary Earth-like planet. He quickly learns that it&rsquo;s anything but ordinary as it&rsquo;s ruled by hyper-intelligent apes with the power of speech that have enslaved primitive humans. The original Planet of the Apes introduced audiences to franchise-favourite characters, Dr. Cornelius (Roddy McDowall) and Dr. Zira (Kim Hunter), two married chimpanzee scientists who advocate for Taylor's survival after learning of his intelligence.
Eventually, Taylor leaves Ape City and finds the Statue of Liberty buried in sand, revealing he is on Earth thousands of years into the future. This first film was groundbreaking for numerous reasons, including the amount of prosthetics used to realize the humanoid apes. It also introduced many moviegoers to the apocalypse genre with its jaw-dropping twist ending. Taylor&rsquo;s story and this timeline technically conclude in Beneath the Planet of the Apes when a nuclear warhead from thousands of years earlier is detonated, destroying the planet.
With Beneath's definitive ending, many wondered how the franchise could continue. Audiences were pleasantly surprised, however, when Escape From the Planet of the Apes gave new life to the franchise, figuratively and literally. Reversing the plot of Planet of the Apes, the movie begins with Dr. Cornelius and a pregnant Dr. Zira travelling back in time to Washington, D.C., in 1973. The pair had rebuilt Taylor&rsquo;s spaceship to escape their timeline&rsquo;s destruction and hopefully save Earth&rsquo;s future. Before the government kills them for fear their arrival marks the downfall of humanity, Zira gives birth to their son, Caesar, speeding up the timeline of events. After planting every seed, the final two films, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) and Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973), finally showed moviegoers how Earth became a planet ruled by apes. In this version, humans take advantage of apes through menial labour after a virus remarkably increases their intelligence. To free the apes, Caesar organizes a rebellion which escalates into war, culminating in a nuclear attack that wipes out most of the human population. This event eventually allowed the advanced apes to rise and become Earth&rsquo;s dominant species.

THE TIM BURTON REMAKE 
<ul>
<li>Planet of the Apes (2001)</li>
</ul>
Even though Tim Burton&rsquo;s Planet of the Apes remake starring Mark Wahlberg came out in 2001, 20th Century had been actively developing the project since 1988. Many actors and directors passed on it, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Peter Jackson, and James Cameron, but the studio finally landed on Burton and Wahlberg to bring this reimagining to life. Despite an overall mixed reaction from fans and critics, they unanimously praised its impressive prosthetic work, creative visual style, and detailed costume design.
Burton's remake is set in 2029 and begins inside a U.S. space station named Oberon. Wahlberg plays Leo Davidson, an astronaut training a chimpanzee, Pericles, to survive a space mission. When Pericles disappears on said mission, Leo chases after him only to crash 3000 years into the future on a planet ruled by an advanced ape civilization.&nbsp; While this version has different characters than the original, it follows that story closely until it reveals that Leo is on an alien planet named Ashlar. Not wanting to copy the original movie&rsquo;s ending completely, Burton gave his version a different twist ending.
Leo eventually finds Pericles, but the two are attacked by General Thade (Tim Roth), a highly-ranked chimpanzee military officer convinced humans are the enemy. Leo locks Thade in Oberon&rsquo;s wreckage before returning to his planet and timeline in Pericles&rsquo;s space pod. When Leo lands in Washington, D.C., he discovers the Lincoln Memorial is now a memorial dedicated to General Thade. Leo then finds himself surrounded by police, soldiers, and news reporters, all revealed to be apes, confirming that General Thade fixed Oberon and travelled back in time to Earth centuries before Leo returned home, altering the planet&rsquo;s history.

THE MODERN REBOOT/PREQUEL SERIES
<ul>
<li>Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)</li>
<li>Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)</li>
<li>War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)</li>
<li>Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)</li>
</ul>
The beloved Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy started in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes and continued in 2014 with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes before it concluded (sort of) in 2017 with War for the Planet of the Apes. Fans may view the trilogy as a prequel to the original movies even though, canonically, they aren&rsquo;t. Rise of the Planet of the Apes introduced a new version of Caesar, played brilliantly by Andy Serkis, and audiences fell in love with the character. Besides avoiding time travel, Rise also introduced another notable change for the popular sci-fi franchise- transitioning from practical ape costumes to fully rendered, CGI-animated apes.&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;ve seen Rise through War for the Planet of the Apes and read this far, you might have noticed plot points throughout the original movies that reappear in the reboot. A significant similarity is the virus explained in Escape from the Planet of the Apes and shown in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. The reboot evolves this idea into The Simian Flu, first introduced in Rise of the Planet of the Apes when a pharmaceutical chemist living in San Fransisco, Will Rodman (James Franco), develops a drug, ALZ-112, in hopes that it will cure Alzheimer&rsquo;s which his father (John Lithgow) suffers from. The drug is tested on a chimpanzee, Bright Eyes, significantly increasing her intelligence. Unfortunately, she&rsquo;s put down during an altercation trying to protect the baby chimp she&rsquo;d given birth to after receiving the drug.
When the program is cancelled, Will takes the baby chimp home to protect him, naming him Caesar. Five years later, Will has been secretly and successfully treating his father with ALZ-112. At the same time, he&rsquo;s also studying Caesar&rsquo;s development since he inherited the effects of the drug from his mother and is extremely intelligent. Will begins to notice his father&rsquo;s Alzheimers resisting ALZ-112 and starts developing a new version. Before he can test it, Will&rsquo;s father has an altercation with their next-door neighbour. Things quickly turn violent when Caesar steps in, and he&rsquo;s sent to a primate holding facility under court order. At first, Caesar struggles to bond with the other apes, having never been around his kind before, until he enlists the help of an intimidating gorilla and asserts his dominance.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Will continues testing the latest version of the drug, ALZ-113. During the experiment, Will's lab assistant is exposed and, over a few days, becomes severely ill. He then visits Will's house to tell him about the health risk the drug poses but runs into his neighbour and accidentally sneezes blood all over him. Will&rsquo;s assistant is later found in his apartment, deceased. After seeing other apes abused by the facility employees and experiencing it himself, Caesar makes a quiet escape to Will&rsquo;s house to steal vials of ALZ-113. Back at the facility, he administers the drug to every ape in captivity with him, and they all band together to break out. Oh, and Caesar speaks for the first time!
A battle on the Golden Gate Bridge ensues as the apes flee to the redwood forest where they can be free. The apes come out on top and make their way to safety. No Planet of the Apes movie would be complete without a surprise, and Rise delivers one in a mid-credit scene: Will&rsquo;s neighbour, who is now infected, is revealed to be a pilot, beginning the global spread of the ALZ-113 virus.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes takes place ten years after the events of Rise. The ALZ-113 virus, now officially dubbed The Simian Flu, has taken out most of the population with a one in 500 survival rate. The remaining humans are scattered around the world, and the leftover population in San Francisco is gathered in the city centre. At the same time, the apes continue to live in the woods. When humans discover them, their decade of peace ends as members on both sides resist peace.
Two years later, in War for the Planet of the Apes, a U.S. militia group called Alpha-Omega (a reference to the bomb that destroys Earth in Beneath the Planet of the Apes) is determined to exterminate all apes, forcing them to move from their colony to an oasis discovered by Caesar&rsquo;s eldest son, Blue Eyes. However, Caesar stays behind to get revenge on the militia&rsquo;s leader, a man known as The Colonel (Woody Harrelson), after he infiltrates their home and murders Blue Eyes and Caesar&rsquo;s wife.
During their confrontation, the Colonel reveals to Caesar that The Simian Flu has mutated into a virus that can cause human intelligence to regress until primitive. They eventually lose most functionality, including the ability to speak. This development sets the stage for how humans become enslaved by apes in the upcoming sequel, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, just as humans are depicted in the original movie.
During the film&rsquo;s finale, Caesar allows the Colonel, who is infected with the mutated disease, to take his own life. At the same time, the U.S. army invades the Alpha-Omega base, setting off an avalanche that buries both military forces. After escaping the avalanche, Caesar arrives at his son's discovered haven- now, a new home for all apes. In a devastating turn, Maurice notices a gunshot wound Caesar sustained during battle. Caesar sadly dies from his injuries, leaving the rest of the apes to rebuild their new sanctuary in his honour.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes marks the 10th feature film installment in the Planet of the Apes franchise, which has been going strong for over 55 years and will be the first entry in a new trilogy set 300 years after Caesar led apes to freedom.

Kingdom of the Planet Of The Apes

<a href="https://screenrant.com/tag/the-fall-guy/">The Fall Guy</a>'s record-breaking cannon roll stunt is spotlighted in an action-packed new featurette for the film. Ryan Gosling leads <a href="https://screenrant.com/the-fall-guy-cast-character-guide/">The Fall Guy's cast</a> as Colt Seavers, a stuntman working on his ex's big-budget movie who must use his action hero skills to rescue the film's missing star. The film, which is directed by David Leitch and also stars Emily Blunt as Jody, Colt's ex, has been hailed in the first reviews as a highly effective action comedy with some standout stunts. Now, ahead of <a href="https://screenrant.com/fall-guy-movie-updates-release-date-cast-story/">The Fall Guy's release date</a> later this spring, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyM_QMFcFvA&amp;ab_channel=UniversalPictures" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Universal Pictures</a> shares a new behind-the-scenes featurette, revealing the cannon roll stunt from the movie that set a new Guinness World Record.

As revealed in the clip, the first attempt at the roll didn't quite go to plan, so Gosling's stunt double, Ryan Holladay, suited up for another try. While the previous world record for a cannon roll was 7 rolls, Holladay ended up completing eight and a half. &nbsp;
<h2>How The Fall Guy Celebrates Stunt Work</h2>

<h3>David Leitch's New Movie Is A Love Letter To Stunt Performers</h3>

He also co-directed the first John Wick alongside Chad Stahelski. Like Stahelski, Leitch is a former stunt performer, and he evidently uses this experience to inform his directorial work.
<div class="emaki-custom note">Stahelski would go on to solo direct the subsequent three movies in the John Wick franchise.</div>
The Fall Guy, however, seems to be capitalizing on Leitch's stunt history like never before. <a href="https://screenrant.com/the-fall-guy-movie-first-reactions/">Early reactions to The Fall Guy</a> hail the movie as a love letter to the stunt community, with a big focus on practical action. In addition to featuring some bold stunts, the movie also features Gosling starring as a stuntman. The movie, then, could use Colt to provide a closer look at the lives of people like Holladay as they help to bring big action sequences to life. Stunt performers are a crucial part of most action movies, but their work is often intentionally made to look as if it was accomplished by somebody else. Due to clever camera angles and digital face replacements, it can be easy to forget just how crucial stunt performers are to bringing bold action sequences to life. The Fall Guy seems to be shining a light on this invaluable group, and the cannon roll world record is evidently just a taste of the type of action audiences can expect from the film.
