Interview: The Killer’s Game Director J.J. Perry on Good Choreography & Action By Director J.
J. Perry has quickly made a name for himself delivering fun action movies. Following up the vampire Netflix movie Day Shift, Perry’s latest film is The Killer’s Game starring Dave Bautista.
ComingSoon spoke to Perry about his thoughts on fight choreography and the film, which is out now on digital and releases on on November 19. “In the new action-comedy The Killer’s Game, when top hitman Joe Flood (Dave Bautista) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take matters into his own hands – by taking a hit out on himself,” the official synopsis reads for J.J.
Perry’s The Killer’s Game. “But when the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend ( ), he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues and win back the love of his life before it’s too late.” : Yeah, absolutely.
When I was coming up, I was a big fan of movies like Fright Night, Big Trouble in Little China, Evil Dead, and The Lost Boys. So they’re kind of action comedy horrors or action comedies or fun action movies. I think whenever you put those ingredients together, it makes for [an experience] where you can have the upper hand on the audience all the time.
I can always hit ’em with something else. So doing something that’s fun and actiony. Look, man, the world’s kind of a dark place right now.
I don’t need to add to that. I don’t need to make any dark material. You can find.
