Long, long, LONG overdue. Recognition for the stunt artists who, without exaggeration, risk their lives and push past their limits on set, being the backbone of the film industry, is something that should have existed decades ago.

"Exploring the possibility" doesn't really say much, but it's at least a start.

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.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 23: Someone barely escapes something on #NationalNearMissDay

In Steamboat Bill, Jr. (Charles Reisner / Buster Keaton, 1928), former vaudevillian Keaton narrowly escapes the façade of a house crashing down around him. Both Keaton and the stunt lived on, probably most famously in Keaton aficionado Jackie Chan's Project A Part II (HK, 1987). Despite all the well-meant tributes, none of the later stunts are as nail biting as the pre-OSHA original.

A production photo showing the moment the façade crashing down towards Keaton. The photographer is standing to the right of Keaton at a very safe distance. The thickness of the wall is clearly, frightfully, visible. Even with the open window moving towards him, this blink-and-you-miss-it shot cannot guarantee a happy ending for Keaton or his movie persona William Canfield Jr.
