“Honestly, when you think of any great action hero or any great hero out there or great character actor, you kind of transcend the character. You just don't love the character, you love the guy.

“I think what we want to do is - when we choreograph, when we design choreography, we try to take it from a character standpoint first. Obviously you write a script and it's like, a Jason Bourne or a John Wick or something like that, you don't start choreographing double twisting wire moves and backflips, or doing the splits. You try to keep it so it fits the character, or the tone of the film.” ThinkingWantWritingTryingFirstsCharacterFilmMovingDesignFitScriptsToneSplitsWireStandpointJasonChoreographyBourneBackflips Author:Chad Stahelski
“We're under Rigan Machado, who I think is one of the best jiu jitsu instructors at least in Los Angeles, if not in the world.
