It’s not a good day, it’s a great day in New York where stars Ryan Reynolds, Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Camille Kostek were joined by director Shawn Levy for a walk down the red carpet where they greeted enthusiastic fans at the world premiere of 20th Century Studios’ “Free Guy.” The screening occurred at the AMC Lincoln Center theater on the Upper West Side.
In 20th Century Studios’ epic adventure-comedy “Free Guy,” a bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, decides to become the hero of his own story…one he rewrites himself. Now in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way…before it is too late.
Starring Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, Utkarsh Ambudkar and Taika Waititi, “Free Guy” is directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay by Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn and a story by Lieberman.
