The Fall Guy Filming Locations in Sydney, Australia
Unlike other blogposts that are written by people who have never even visited Sydney AND have never even seen the film… they claim to know the locations and list random locations or the just popular tourist locations of Sydney and are spreading false information… I have actually lived in Sydney for over 3 decades and I saw the film as soon as I could on 24th April 2024 in Sydney. I could also easily recognise most of the locations as I was watching the film myself as I have a very good memory of locations I have visited in the past, especially if I have visited them multiple times.
The film was filmed in Sydney throughout late 2022 and early 2023 with five main filming locations.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge scenes were filmed in one Sunday in late January 2023, starting at 5am. The bridge was closed down for many hours disrupting traffic in this busy city of over 5 million inhabitants.
The last time a Hollywood blockbuster took over Sydney was 20 years ago when Keanu Reeves filmed the Matrix series.
Film Release
The Fall Guy had its world premiere at SXSW on March 12, 2024. It was released in theatres in Australia on April 24, 2024, and will be released by Universal Pictures in the United Kingdom on May 2, 2024, and then in the United States the next day.
Universal screened The Fall Guy at its CinemaCon panel on April 8, 2024.
The film injected an impressive $244 million into Australia’s economy, having received a $30 million grant from the federal government and $15 million from the NSW government. It was shot in Sydney, New South Wales, and employed over 1,000 Australian cast and crew members as well as over 3,000 Australian extras, according to Communications Minister Paul Fletcher.
The Fall Guy synopsis :
Burnout on the Hollywood stunt scene after a harrowing on-set accident, Ryan Gosling‘s Colt Seavers gets a reality check. Hired to track down a vanished A-lister, Colt plunges into a world of high-stakes secrets. With bullets whizzing past and elaborate stunts pushing him to the limit, Colt must not only clear his own name from a shadowy conspiracy but also rekindle a lost love, all while delivering action so jaw-dropping it’ll redefine the stunt game.
