Stunt doubles are highly skilled and trained professionals who are often at risk through their work, but part of their job is staying away from fame. “Anonymity has always been the contract that we’ve agreed to, and it’s partly for the audience’s benefit,” says David Leitch, director of "The Fall Guy," who was Brad Pitt's stunt double for a decade. The Hollywood Reporter talked to him and Ben Jenkin, Logan Holladay and Chris O’Hara, three of the stunt performers from "The Fall Guy" about how they created the movie's action sequences, and the fight to get industry recognition for their profession. Tell us in the comments what you think the greatest stunt in movie history is.

The Fall Guy: David Leitch Wants to Give Stunt Performers Recognition

David Leitch’s latest action movie stars Ryan Gosling as the stuntman hero, but the director is also fighting to get Hollywood’s anonymous daredevils some long overdue real-life respect.

The moon and stars must have aligned this year, as the spring wildflower display in Andalicia is stunning and prolific. I have enjoyed photographing and posting these beautiful flowers.

Now you can see all the photos in my latest blog post, Wildflowers in Andalucia: https://grainyphotos.com/posts/wildflowers-andalucia/

Wildflowers in Andalucia

Andalucia, Spain, boasts a diverse range of wildflowers and this year, the flowers have been exceptional because of the rain several weeks ago. See fifteen colour film photos of wildflowers in Andalucia…

One area that I am more and more intrigued by with this project is when parts of the body simply fade away into nothingness. It's hard to replicate, but it can be very powerful, as I think it is here. The question then becomes "how far can I go and still have a recognisable portrait..."

I love the way these wildflowers in the olive groves worked out - reminds me of a meadow (this is in an olive grove)

Image of the day is *Pointillism*, an in-camera double exposure on film.

There's something special about tiny leaf textures. While you can hardly distinguish the leaves themselves, they create a powerful pointillist effect, as if the painter Seurat had taken the photograph. While this image is very simple in concept, it's maybe the one that moves me the most from our session with Simon. I definitely intend to do an analog print of this one.

I'm finally getting the opportunity again to shoot male models. I've always found it more difficult to recruit male models for this project, and it's much harder work, simply because I lack the spontaneous vocabulary that we all have for female nudes, having been exposed to a lot more of it in advertising and media. Which makes it all the more interesting. This is a simple pose to start with, very statuesque.

The olives are starting to blossom

The blossoms are tiny, just a couple of millimeters accros. From a distance you cant see the blossoms; the olive trees look a bit lighter in colour.

File this under "things we never knew we wanted until we discovered we couldn't have them." David Lynch pitched an animated project called "Snootworld" to Netflix, but was rejected. He started working on the script 20 years ago with Caroline Thompson, writer of "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Edward Scissorhands" and 1991's "The Addams Family." Here's what the pair told Deadline.
