Shawn Levy (Stranger Things, Night at the Museum franchise) directed Free Guy from a script by Matt Lieberman written way back in 2016.
Expecting fan outcry, the film’s star Ryan Reynolds took to YouTube to share a clip from the film that feels very timely.
Free Guy will be produced by Reynolds, Levy, Sarah Schecter and Greg Berlanti and is written by Matt Lieberman, who is currently working on the upcoming animated reboot of The Addams Family, an in-development animated Scooby-Doo film and a remake of the 1986 hit Short Circuit.
Free Guy is the latest film to undergo a release date shift in the wake of the coronavirus, moving from its previously scheduled time slot of July 3 to December 11.
