This wasn’t the way it was supposed to go. I was among the entertainment press invited to visit the Boston set of Free Guy in June 2019. But a particularly nasty summer storm delayed our travel and affected the production schedule enough that the huge action set-piece we were meant to observe being filmed had instead been shot the day before, a 360-degree visual feast that can be glimpsed in the trailer for the upcoming Ryan Reynolds action-comedy. But things not going as programmed turned out to be thematically appropriate for a movie about a video game character rebelling against his programming.
Even during our day on set, rain halted production long enough for the press to enjoy an extended chat with director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds. While it draws inspiration from over-the-top video games such as GTA, Free Guy is an original IP -- a rarity for an event film aimed at a mainstream audience in this era of franchises and sequels. But doing something original is precisely what attracted both Reynolds and Levy to Free Guy. As Reynolds put it, “just the good, old-fashioned reason that I want to do it is it's something I want to see, something I just am dying to see.”
Reynolds continued: “It's just so fun to do something new, something that is quite literally based on absolutely nothing. So I love the process of acquainting an audience with this new property or this new idea. And it's big. The scale is big. And I think it's appealing to a huge audience.” That promise of Free Guy being “something new and something really special” reminded Reynolds of another movie of his he holds particularly dear. “It's not unlike how I grabbed onto Deadpool. I just felt like there was a reason that this needed to exist.”
As Reynolds sees it, Free Guy is less about the video game it depicts but rather the characters who inhabit it: “We're using the video game world, the Free City world and video game culture, as a sort of a vehicle to tell this really beautiful and powerful human story.” As Levy later put it, “the big theme of this movie is that Ryan's character’s trying to be a good guy inside the city where goodness doesn't exist.”
Before Guy realizes he might be able to change his life, his existence is one of such repetitive extreme violence that even getting beaten up or robbed at gunpoint multiple times a day is as ordinary a part of daily life as commuting or getting coffee is in the real world. “Half the time he doesn't even interrupt his sentence that he's in the middle of while he's being robbed. He's having a conversation with somebody. He just carries on,” Reynolds said. Guy’s best friend is the bank’s security guard, played by Lil Rey, another NPC so accustomed to daily violence that he and Guy simply, as Levy explained, “just lie down like submissive puppies” when a gunman enters the bank because they know “no one ever stops a robbery in Free City, you just get robbed.”
Both Levy and Reynolds spoke of the “soft focus background” action taking place throughout Free City, which features over-the-top violence where background NPCs are killed in a multitude of darkly comic ways. The very idea about background NPCs is at the heart of Free Guy, according to Levy: “It's a movie about, oh, you were created to live in the background, but what if you could rewrite your own code? What if you could redefine your own place in the world? So in a movie that is literally about that theme, it was incumbent on us to take every NPC, the bank teller, of course, but we're shooting a scene with the shoe clerk. He's got a little arc, the barista at the coffee shop, the security guard in the bank. So really tasking ourselves with giving these small but specific arcs for every background character, so that no one is existing just in the background, but rather have their own inner life.”
This “soft focus background” action also includes pop culture and video game nods gamers and fans may appreciate. As Reynolds revealed, “I don't think Easter eggs are a storytelling pillar, but I do think that Easter eggs, especially in 2019 or in this case 2020 when it comes out, are something that audiences love, and I love and appreciate. So the movie will be riddled with Easter eggs.” Levy, when asked, played coy about whether Free Guy might nod to another Disney video game movie, Tron. “There's a lot of Easter eggs in this movie, alluding to a number of games and movies and movies about games, but I'm going to stay a little cagey on whether there's a Tron-specific one.”
Free Guy, however, doesn’t take place wholly within the realm of a video game as it also sees “real world” characters, such as Jodie Comer’s Milly, who wrote the code for Free City, enter the game as avatars. The introverted Milly is out to determine who stole her code and, as her badass avatar Molotov Girl, she comes into contact with Guy. “What's wonderful is Molotov meets Guy,” Comer explained, “within the video world and he doesn't realize that he is an algorithm. He thinks his life has this greater meaning, as we all do. And it's about how these two people who are from completely separate worlds kind of help each other realize a lot of what is inside of them. And they help each other both get to the kind of destination it is that they need to be at.”
Barring any COVID-related delays, the destination for Free Guy is in movie theaters this December.
