Jay Baruchel Reteaming With ‘Goon’s Michael Dowse On Comedy ‘The Stunt Driver’


Jay Baruchel is set to star in 'The Stunt Driver,' a new comedy from his 'Goon' collaborator Michael Dowse, which is based on a true story.

Reuniting Baruchel with Michael Dowse, the filmmaker behind his R-rated 2011 hockey comedy Goon, The Stunt Driver watches as “The Mad Canadian” Carter attempts to execute the boldest maneuver of his career during the 1970s, launching a rocket car off a 90-foot-high ramp across the St. Lawrence River. The film, which Dowse calls his “white whale project,” follows Carter’s quest to make his seemingly impossible dream a reality, chronicling his preparation for the jump and the absurd challenges he faces along the way. Other upcoming projects include the action thriller Trap House, starring Dave Bautista, and Prime Video’s crime comedy series The Sticky, for which he served as director and executive producer.
