The Hollywood Reporter:

Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy are teaming up for Free Guy, a sci-fi action comedy set up at 20th Century Fox.

Reynolds is attached to star in the project which Levy, the director known for Fox’s Night at the Museum movies (among other titles) and exec producer of Stranger Things, will helm.

Written by Matt Lieberman, the story centers on a background character who realizes he’s living in a video game. With the help of an avatar, he tries to prevent the makers of the game from shutting down his world.

Fun concept! Wonder if it will survive the trip to the big screen?
