It tells the story of a bank teller who discovers that he is anon-player character in amassively multiplayer online game, who then partners with a player to find evidence that a gaming company's CEO stole the source code of the player's game.

Lieberman began writing the script in 2016, which was acquired by20th Century Fox shortly after. Levy passed on the script but reconsidered afterHugh Jackman introduced him to Reynolds, resulting in him leavingthe film adaptation of theUncharted video game he had been developing. Theacquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney madeFree Guy one of the first films produced by the studio to continue production under Disney's ownership.

After the film was delayed two times by theCOVID-19 pandemic, it premiered at the74th Locarno Film Festival on August 10, 2021, and was released theatrically in the United States three days later, on August 13, inRealD 3D,IMAX,4DX andDolby Cinema formats. The film was a commercial success, grossing $331.5 million worldwide against a $100–125 million production budget, and received generally positive reviews from critics for its concept, comparing it to films and video games such asReady Player One (2018),The Truman Show (1998),The Matrix (1999),Grand Theft Auto, andFortnite.[6][7] It received a nomination forBest Visual Effects at the94th Academy Awards.

Plot

[edit]

Free City is anonline game[8] developed by Soonami Studios. Its "players"—people inreal life—wear sunglasses and spend their time fighting each other and causing mayhem. Thenon-player characters (NPCs) accept the chaos while living out their scripted lives, unaware that the world they live in is a video game. These NPCs include Guy, who works as a clerk in Free City's bank with his best friend, security guard Buddy.

Unemployed software developer Millie Rusk playsFree City to find proof that Soonami stole the source code from the concept game she developed,Life Itself, which included novelartificial intelligence (AI) techniques for its NPCs. Her friend and co-developer Walter "Keys" McKey is reluctant to help, as he now works in technical support at Soonami. Millie'savatar "MolotovGirl" catches Guy's attention by singing his favorite song, "Fantasy". Guy then begins to deviate from his programming, accidentally shooting a player robbing the bank, and leaving with the player's sunglasses.

Believing Guy to be a hacker disguised as an NPC, Keys and his coworker Mouser unsuccessfully try to ban him from the game. Accessing the players' view of the game, Guy visits new areas and meets Millie atvlogger Revenjamin Buttons' stash house, where they attempt to steal evidence leading to her source code. Believing Guy to be anovice player, she advises him tolevel up. Guy rapidly progresses through the game by completing missions benevolently, standing out from other players and becoming a worldwide sensation known as "Blue Shirt Guy".

As Keys realizes that Guy truly is an NPC, other NPCs that Guy interacts with also begin to develop self-awareness. However,Free City 2 is due to release in 48 hours and will replaceFree City, terminating all of its NPCs. Millie tells Guy the truth about his existence, but he becomes distraught and breaks off contact. Guy eventually realizes that there is something more to an NPC's existence, and goes with Buddy to get the evidence Millie wanted from Buttons, who accidentallyglitched through the edge ofFree City's map and discovered an older build ofLife Itself, recording avideo clip in the process. Guy's popularity threatens the plans of Soonami's CEO Antwan Hovachelik to launchFree City 2, so he orders a server reboot which resets Guy's memories. Guy regains his self-awareness when Millie kisses him.

Guy recalls the location of an island containing remnants of theLife Itself build and they attempt to reach it before theFree City 2 launch wipes all old content from the servers. Guy even rallies the NPCs who are now on strike from the game. Antwan fires Keys, has every player removed fromFree City, and sends an unfinished but extremely powerful Guy-resembling character named Dude into the game to stop Guy. Initially overwhelmed, Guy then puts his sunglasses on Dude, distracting him, and proceeds to the island. Furious, Antwan begins smashing the game'snetwork server racks with an axe in a last-ditch attempt to stop Guy, erasing Buddy and much of the game world, while firing Mouser after he soon realized that he did steal Millie's code. Before he can destroy the final server, Guy managed to reach the island and Millie offers a deal to drop the copyright infringement lawsuit and surrender theFree City franchise's profits to him in exchange for her creation. Antwan agrees to her terms, believing she made a bad deal.

Sometime later, sales forFree City 2 slip because ofbugs in the code andlagging online play. An embattled Antwan is in the crosshairs, but claims he is a victim of circumstance. Millie salvages her code and along with Keys and Mouser, releases theindie gameFree Life, which includes Guy, Dude, and the other NPCs fromFree City. Guy reveals to Millie that his code is actually a love letter to her from Keys: during the development ofLife Itself, Keys had encoded what he knew about her tastes into an AI routine in the game, which was eventually incorporated intoFree City, explaining why Guy felt drawn to MolotovGirl. After Millie leaves the game, she and Keys kiss. Meanwhile, Guy and Dude reunite with Buddy, whose AI algorithm was reconstructed.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]
Free Guy directorShawn Levy

In August 2016,Matt Lieberman spent three weeks writing the first draft of thespec script forFree Guy.[20] This was sold and entered development at 20th Century Fox prior tobeing acquired byThe Walt Disney Company.Free Guy is one of the first Fox films to continue production under Disney's ownership, as well as under the studio's new name of20th Century Studios.[21] DirectorShawn Levy originally passed on the script. After he was introduced toRyan Reynolds by a mutual friendHugh Jackman (whom Levy directed inReal Steel and Reynolds costarred with inX-Men Origins: Wolverine), Levy and Reynolds decided to work onFree Guy after rereading it together.[3] Reynolds, who also produced the film, said, "I haven't been this fully immersed and engaged in something sinceDeadpool."[21] Levy had previously been attached to the filmUncharted, an adaptation of thevideo game series of the same name, before he left to makeFree Guy.[22]

Filming

[edit]

Principal photography began on May 14, 2019,[23] inBoston, mostly around the city'sFinancial District.[24][25] It also took place in theMassachusetts cities ofWorcester,[26]Framingham (in the former Framingham Savings Bank building),[27] andWeymouth (at the formerNaval Air Station),[28] as well as atRevere Beach[29] and theParamount Pictures studio headquarters inLos Angeles,California. Filming concluded on July 31, 2019.[23]

Design and cultural references

[edit]

Levy decided to hire production designerEthan Tobman over other candidates with more feature film experience after being inspired by the energy he brought to the project. Together they created a visual bible laying out the rules for their video game world. To split the real world from the in-game look they specified colors, lenses, composition and framing, camera movement, and other details.[22] Levy found it liberating to be influenced by other games and films but not required to make a direct adaptation of an existing franchise.[22] Tobman said the film's game-world design drew primary inspiration from games likeSimCity,The Sims andRed Dead Redemption 2, while also acknowledging thematic inspiration fromGrand Theft Auto andFortnite.[8] In order to help Reynolds fully tap into his Guy character after Deadpool, Levy suggested that he tap into his Canadian background and act very friendly, full of joy, a typical Canadian citizen. He also found inspiration in Peter Sellers' role inBeing There and Will Ferrell's role inElf because they played characters who were similar to Guy's character being simple-minded.[30]

The film features several weapons from other video game and film franchises, including theScorpion fromHalo: Combat Evolved, a Mega Buster fromMega Man, alightsaber fromStar Wars, one ofFortnite's pickaxes, thegravity gun fromHalf-Life 2, the portal gun fromPortal, as well asCaptain America'sshield andHulk's fist from theMarvel Cinematic Universe. When the film was acquired by Disney, which owns theMarvel andStar Wars franchises, the filmmakers made a request to use iconic weapons from those properties, and were granted permission to use everything they requested.[16][8][22] The cameo byChris Evans was suggested by Reynolds' wifeBlake Lively.[31] Levy contacted Evans, who was already in Boston shootingDefending Jacob and asked if he would come by for ten minutes, and he agreed.[32]

Music

[edit]
Main article:Free Guy (soundtrack)

The film's score was composed byChristophe Beck.[33] Portions of the film's score are sampled from the Disney animated short filmPaperman, which Beck had previously scored. Levy had originally intended to use the song "Your Love" bythe Outfield, but Reynolds suggested using "Fantasy" byMariah Carey instead.[16] Reynolds talked to Carey about obtaining permission to use it and she allowed them to use the song throughout the film.[34] A cover version of "Fantasy" sung by Comer was also used in the film.[16][22]

Marketing

[edit]

When promoting the film in 2019, Reynolds and Waititi joked that it was nice to work together for the first time, pretending that they knew nothing about their previous experience working together on the poorly-received 2011Green Lantern film.[35][36][37] In July 2021, Reynolds released a video onYouTube titledDeadpool and Korg React, in which he reprised his role asWade Wilson/Deadpool from theX-Men film series and Waititi reprised his role asKorg from theMarvel Cinematic Universe reacting to the trailer toFree Guy.[38]

On August 12, 2021, Dude became a purchasable outfit in the video gameFortnite alongside a series of optional quests placed into the game to allow players to unlock anemote with Reynolds's voice.[39]Free Guy's marketing team created parody posters in the style of other video games, includingSuper Mario 64,Minecraft,Among Us,Grand Theft Auto: Vice City,Mega Man,Street Fighter II,Doom, andAnimal Crossing: New Horizons.[40]

[edit]

[edit]

Free Guy grossed $121.6 million in the United States and Canada, and $209.9 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $331.5 million.[4][5]

In the United States and Canada,Free Guy was released alongsideRespect andDon't Breathe 2, and was initially projected to gross $15–18 million from 4,165 theaters in its opening weekend.[61] However, after making $10.5 million on its first day (including $2.2 million from Thursday-night previews), estimates were raised to $26 million. It went on to debut to $28.4 million, topping the box office.[6] The film made $18.5 million in its second weekend, remaining in first. The drop of just 34% marked the smallest second-weekend decline of any wide release of the summer and the second-best of Reynolds' career.[62] In its third weekend, it was beaten by newcomerCandyman, but the film continued to hold well, falling by 27% earning $13.6 million.[63]

Critical response

[edit]

On review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 80% based on 297 reviews and an average rating of 7/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Combining a clever concept, sweet, self-aware humor, and a charming cast,Free Guy is frivolous fun."[64] OnMetacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 62 out of 100 based on 51 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[65] Audiences polled byCinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[6]

Peter Debruge ofVariety magazine called the film an "at-times unwieldy mashup of multiple-reality blockbusters likeThe Matrix andThe Lego Movie" and said that "Free Guy is a lot of fun, despite the fact that Levy and the screenwriters seem to be changing the rules as they go."[66]Richard Roeper of theChicago Sun-Times lauded both the "perfectly cast" Reynolds and "superb and charming Jodie Comer." Giving the film three out of four stars, he wrote "Thanks in large part to the vibrant, funny, sweet, endearing work by Reynolds and Comer,Free Guy delivers."[67]A.A. Dowd ofThe A.V. Club gave the film a C+ grade and said, "For all its casual mayhem,Free Guy turns out to be a rather cuddly crowdpleaser, a high-concept blockbuster trifle with bubblegum ice cream clogging its circuits." Dowd contrasted the film withThe Truman Show, saying "Reynolds replicates that slightly unhinged Truman Burbank grin but not the desperation behind it."[68] Nick De Semlyen ofEmpire was critical of the film; he compared it unfavorably to 2018'sReady Player One, and said that although it is "eager to please" it "doesn't really hang together, even as you're watching it."[69]

The film ranks sixth on Rotten Tomatoes' Best Science Fiction Movies of 2021.[70]

Possible sequel

[edit]

On August 14, 2021, following the film's successful first-day box-office gross, Reynolds confirmed that Disney wanted a sequel.[84][85] In March 2022, Steve Asbell, president of 20th Century Studios, said a script was being submitted shortly and called the sequel "a fantastic story".[86][87] Comer has expressed interest in returning for a sequel, stating, "I would honestly jump at the chance to be back on a set with all those guys. [The first movie] was such a joyous experience -- so to hear that that may be in the cards sound like a ton of fun."[88]

In September 2023, Levy said the story for the sequel was being revised in response to the filmBarbie. Levy stated, "We are developing a sequel, but the truth is that you now have Barbie that has obviously left a mark about a character in a fictional world who comes to self-awareness. So, we're only gonna makeFree Guy 2 if it's different than the first movie and if it's different from other movies."[89]
