The Fall Guy was one of the lesser knowns from the 80s action hits on TV, and it is the most recent 80s tv show to get the green light for adaptation.
Its still in its earliest stages and no director or actor is attached and no script has been written. Just that Dreamworks is starting to roll that ball to do it!
Collider reminds us about the show:
DreamWorks is hard at work on a reboot of the Lee Major stuntman series The Fall Guy.
The series was created by Glen A. Larson, the man behind such series as Magnum P.I., Knight Rider, and the original Battlestar Galactica. Majors starred as Hollywood stuntman/bounty hunter Colt Seavers, who did all the cool things you would expect a stuntman/bounty hunter to do.
Lee Majors was 42 when they made this show, and while I agree with Collider that they will go younger for the movie, I would hope they dont bottom out too young. They suggest Gerrard Butler for the role, which now that I picture it, I can’t see anyone else.
Who would you like to see in an adatpation of the Fall Guy?
