Extraction's Sam Hargrave is the latest stuntman making the leap to directing.
. "Your ego wants to do one continuous 12-minute take, but sometimes with logic and time and location, you can’t. So, you have to break it up."
Directing afforded Hargrave an opportunity he didn't always get as a stunt coordinator or performer: the leeway to truly execute his vision for the stunts. It's probably why he was so hands on for his first time heading an entire production. "You can do whatever you want as a stunt coordinator, but it’s up to the director to shoot and work with the editor in the final product to tell the story," he explains.
For better or worse, Stahelski thinks people might assume stuntmen are able to execute action better than most. "I don’t necessarily agree with that. That’s a case-by-case basis," he says. "In the case of Sam or Dave, absolutely." But, being that the majority of film scripts that come their way happen to be action-oriented, they have an opportunity to expand how the industry perceives stunts. "I'm not some frustrated dramatic thriller guy who can only blow s--- up.
"Action is such a part of who I am," Leitch says. "Even if you gave me the smallest dramatic noir, I'd still find somehow to put a piece of action in it." He references a scene from the Coen Brothers''s Anton Chigurh strangles one of his victims. This, he says, is a stunt done in a different way. "It's a simple, graphic, static shot. They didn’t need a fight scene. There’s just boots on the ground, scuffing the floor, leaving all these marks.
