Why?

The people who grew up with 'The Fall Guy' TV show are now what... at least 45? So what's the thinking behind trying to reboot it for modern audiences?

Couldn't they just make a movie called 'The stuntman' or something? Do studios genuinely believe that they can improve their audience numbers by appealing to the nostalgia of people over 50? Really?

Surely their target demographic is teens, twenties and thirties, so what's the thinking here? I'm genuinely curious. I don't get it (unless the assumption is that the over 50s market is more influential to the success of modern movies than we actually realise).

Anyway, let's hope Lee Majors has a cameo.

Clint Eastwood makes movies for you geezers. I see a half dozen in this thread!

People who actually go to theaters have seen the trailer, they love the cast and action.
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Hannah Waddingham

Movies aren't just made for children. OP must be about thirteen.
