JJ Perry transitioned from stuntman to second unit director and is now directing his second feature film, THE KILLER'S GAME, starring Dave Bautista, Sofia Boutella, Pom Klementieff, Terry Crews and Ben Kingsley. CineMovie is also chatting with actor Marko Zarzor (JOHN WICK 4) who was challenged in this role by adding dancing and singing to his fight stunts.
JJ Perry, a martial arts stuntman with over 24 years under his belt, has trained many former WWE wrestlers for action movies and he says that background helps the transition into action stars.
