Premise

In the open world video game Free City, Guy (Reynolds) is a non-player character (NPC) working as a bank teller. Thanks to a program developed by programmers Milly (Comer) and Keys (Keery) inserted into Free City by the publisher Antoine (Waititi), Guy becomes aware of his world being a video game, and takes steps to make himself the hero, creating a race against time to save the game before the developers can shut it down.[3][4]

Cast

The film features cameo appearances from YouTube personalities JacksepticeyeNinjaPokimane, and LazarBeam.[10] Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek also makes an appearance in the film.[11]

Production

Free Guy had been in development at 20th Century Fox prior to its acquisition by Disney, and is one of the first Fox films to continue production under Disney ownership, as well as under the studio's new name 20th Century Studios.[4] Ryan Reynolds, who produced the film along with Shawn Levy, said "I haven’t been this fully immersed and engaged in something since Deadpool".[4]

The film started principal photography in Boston in May 2019, including around the city's Financial District.[12][13] Filming also took place in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts,[14] and Framingham, Massachusetts, in the former Framingham Bank building,[15] and at the former Naval Air Station in South Weymouth, Massachusetts.[16]
