You learn tricks to make action look more dynamic - having the fight come toward you or shooting on a longer lens to compress the speed.

While filming 'The Matrix,' we studied how a Chinese fight-choreography team trains actors before production starts so that they can participate in action sequences in a more dynamic way.

Film is a collaborative art form. I don't know why you wouldn't recognize the stunt performers.
- Departments
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Stunt coordinating is a good training ground for directing because you have exposure to all the departments in film.

If you're trying to get to the underworld of Berlin, it's not suits and ties; it's rock and roll.

Spies go undercover. They take on different personas.
- Great

- Nov 07, 2020
Great actors can transform, but sometimes there's just this person who speaks right to the role. When they walk in the room, you know they're that character. That is something you can't teach an actor; that's something that's luck and chance.
- Choices

- Nov 07, 2020
You have to make bold choices to be noticed.
- Good

Some actors have an affinity for dance, and they should explore it, train in it, and get good.
- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Atomic Blonde' is about the characters' bigger existential crisis and their world. It's not so much the conceit of the spy game; it's more that being a spy sucks. But we're going to make it fun to watch.
- Always

- Nov 07, 2020
Coming from an action background, I always approach the action sequences in any script as kind of placeholders.
- Fight Scene

The vehicle-stunt world is so specialized. But when you spend so long in it as a stunt coordinator, you're exposed to all the disciplines, so it's always fun to combine the two ideas - a car chase and a fight scene - and make something more dynamic.
- Go

- Nov 07, 2020
I look at the action scenes as placeholders when I arrive on a script, knowing that I'm going to expand on them when I understand the constraints of the movie, the locations of where we're shooting, the abilities of the actors, and where we want to go with the characters.
- First
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every movie you attack has its challenges, and I was excited about the challenges presented by 'Deadpool.' I was a huge fan of the original, and I think, as a director, you have to put the script first.
- Comedy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a director, just to be able to jump in to do something that's different, and to explore comedy and be challenged by that, is great. Some directors never get that opportunity.
- Fight

- Nov 07, 2020
Fight choreography has far more in common with dance choreography than it does with actual martial arts. You learn martial arts techniques, but those are just the movements for the choreography. You're working with a partner in choreography. You're working on timing.
- Fight Scene
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Choreographing a fight scene is telling a little story. You learn a lot about the characters involved.
- Fantasy World
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Part of the problem is that many directors treat female characters too often as precious. Or they want to live in a fantasy world where they just do spinning hook kicks and knock out guys who are six foot four, and that doesn't work either.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I find fight scenes actually more interesting, in a way, than chase scenes because you're watching your character go through this problem-solving process and fight the antagonist mano-a-mano. It's more powerful, more emotional.
- Attitude
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are a lot of big action movies that we've worked on where the attitude has been, 'Let's just get through this scene.' Then you get those jumpy, what-were-they-thinking action sequences.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
Shooting a fight is like shooting any other scene. You have to tell a story using a very specific choreography.

The completely irreverent tone was the thing that won me over about the first 'Deadpool' movie.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing that I like about action sequences is that if they're done well, you get to know more about the character in those few minutes than you do through 10 minutes of exposition.
- Different

Selling art is a lot different than making it.
- DNA

- Nov 07, 2020
The DNA of 'Deadpool' shouldn't change.
