Ryan Gosling is a battered and past-his-prime stuntman who finds himself back on a movie with the star for whom he doubled long ago and who replaced him. The wrinkle, however, is that the star is missing.

Stephanie Hsu will play the assistant to the movie star, who is being played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Emily Blunt is cast as a prosthetic makeup artist that has a romantic past with the stuntman.
