Interestingly, Kurt Russell‘s character plays a stunt coordinator in the movie. Bloody Disgusting suggested that this might be because he’s an older relative of Death Proof‘s Stuntman Mike, whom Russell also played.

The trailer then cuts to a montage of Rick’s newfound life as a small-screen cowboy. His movie star days are behind him.

Timothy Olyphant also shows up as his cowboy co-star.
