Director J.J. Perry’s stunt filmography runs back decades. If you’ve seen an action film in the past 30 years, you may have seen Perry get his ass kicked by John Wick, or as Nathan Fillion’s double in Serenity. Most likely, you’ve seen Perry’s work by way of his stunt choreography and coordination from iconic franchises like Avatar and The Fast Films to critical favorites like Warrior and Argo. In 2022, Perry debuted as a director with Netflix’s Day Shift, starring Jaimie Foxx and Snoop Dogg. Now he’s following his vampire actioner with a brand new action-love story, The Killer’s Game, starring Dave Bautista, Sofia Boutella, and Sir Ben Kingsley. The Killer’s Game follows Bautista’s Joe Flood, a veteran assassin who is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and authorizes a kill on himself. After ordering the kill, his former colleagues jump at the opportunity. But when Joe receives new shocking information, this hit becomes a race for his life. Collider’s Steve Weintraub was delighted to sit down with director J.J. Perry to discuss working with the same stunt crew for fifteen years, shooting on an unbelievably short schedule, and how he hustled the Eiffel Tower to shoot a stunt 1,000 feet in the air. #thekillersgame #davebatista #jjperry For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
