Gosling and Ferrell Team Up: Action Comedy "Tough Guys" in Development

Contents:
The film is already in production, with Ryan Gosling and Will Ferrell landing the lead roles.

Amazon MGM Studios is producing the project, and it looks like we're getting something that blends absurd humor with stylish action, reports Deadline.

What the film's about

The main characters are two small-time criminals who are tired of living by other people's rules. They decide to take fate into their own hands and break out of the criminal underworld.

Plot details are still sparse, but judging by the title and cast, we're looking at an ironic story with brutal showdowns, chases, and possibly some action movie cliché parody.

An unexpected choice for Gosling

For , this is a rare venture into comedy territory. While I still remember his role in "The Nice Guys" — charismatic but clumsy private detective — the actor mostly sticks to serious dramas or action films like "Drive", "First Man", or "Blade Runner 2049".

Why it's worth waiting for

Gosling always brings charisma and incredible chemistry with his co-stars.

Will Ferrell, meanwhile, has massive experience in pure comedy. Who didn't watch "Elf", "Anchorman", "Land of the Lost", or "Bewitched" as a kid or teenager?

If the chemistry between him and Gosling works, this project has every chance of becoming another hit for both actors.

There's no director attached yet and no release date announced, but the concept alone is generating interest — and expectations are definitely above average. Earlier, we at zoomboola.com covered the cast of The Legend of Zelda adaptation.
