J.J. Perry and Marko Blend Cinema and Martial Arts to Create 'Killers Game'

In the film "Killers Game," director JJ recounts his journey from initially reading the script years ago as a potential stunt coordinator to ultimately directing the project. His connection with the script deepened over the years, and a successful showing of his previous movie caught the attention of producer Andrew Lazar, who offered him the directorial role. Excited by the prospect, especially after casting Dave Batista, JJ describes the experience as akin to winning the lottery, highlighting the enriching rewrites and character additions that added depth to the film.

Marko Zaror, a seasoned actor known for his martial arts prowess, discusses his role in the movie, emphasizing the unique challenge of integrating dance with martial arts to create a new style they humorously name "dance Jitsu." His collaboration with JJ pushed him to blend different artistic expressions, creating a performance that is both visually engaging and technically precise. The innovative choreography aimed to elevate the fight scenes to an art form, making "Killers Game" not just a film but a pioneering endeavor in action cinema.
