Greetings
valued Dan's Movie Report and www.action-flix.com
readers. Back in May my good friends Tayah and Dean were able to
attend the Fighting Spirit Film Festival in Birmingham and witness
the U.K. Theatrical debut of Triple Threat, and to interview the
amazing Scott Adkins! Though I posted the video awhile ago, many
viewers were not able to see it, thus I have decided to type it out
and pay respects to the entire Fighting Spirit Film Festival Staff,
and of course the gracious Mr. Adkins. I was not able to attend, nor
send a rep for the most recent one, yet I stand in support of this
great event. On to Tayah and the one and only Scott Adkins!
DMR:
Tayah- Hi I am here with the one and only Scott Adkins on behalf of
Dan's Movie Report. I have a few questions for you, can you chat a
little bit about working with and having a fight scene with Tony Jaa,
in Triple Threat? What are some of the things you did to amplify the
action.
Scott
Adkins: I did as I was told, because we had Tim Man as our Fight
Coordinator. He is brilliant, obviously, I have done a lot of stuff
with him. He had a really difficult job as he was creating fights
for the best martial arts actors in the world. I think there was a
lot of pressure on him and he did not have a lot of time to do it but
he did a brilliant Job as he always does. I had always wanted to work
with Tony Jaa, it was an absolute pleasure, he is such a humble guy,
obviously he is an incredible martial artist, I literally have never
been kicked as hard by anyone in my life. I know he was not trying to
be he has so much power. He is a great guy, mutual respect. I cannot
wait to work with him again and I believe we will.
DMR:
You and Jesse V. Johnson have worked together on more than half a
dozen films, can you talk about the chemistry you have together, and
why the two of you work so well together?
Scott
Adkins: I am just doing more character stuff with Jesse. I am really
enjoying doing the more character based action stuff with Jesse as I
get a bit older. I am really interested in creating characters and
Jesse gives me the space to do that. It is a great working
relationship, we know each other's strengths, each other weaknesses.
We can be hard on each other, we even have arguments on the set, to
be honest, but it is always from a passionate place, where we are
trying to do the best work that we can do. It can get pretty heated
sometimes, haha, but by the time the film comes out we are both super
happy with the direction we are both going.
DMR: I
know we are running out of time, will we see Boyka again?
Scott
Adkins: I don't think we will. I think Boyka is done. I think he
ended in a nice way, he ended in prison, rotting. Haha, yes that is
the trajectory of Boyka he is like a tragic hero in a way.
DMR:
Thanks for that insight to Boyka, what have you got coming up, that
you can discuss?
Scott
Adkins: Yes I have Hitman 4 coming up. It was great to work with
Donnie Yen as he was a childhood hero of mine. He specifically asked
for me in that film, so that was great. (Avengement is coming out,
character driven action film, again working with director Jesse V.
Johnson, very British very gritty, excited about that one.
DMR:
OK Great, thanks Scott for taking time out of the Fighting Spirit
Festival Birmingham to conduct this interview, we will look forward
to watching the new films.
Scott
Adkins: Thanks, thank you.
