In addition to working on the fourth chapters of JohnWick and TheMatrix, filmmaker Chad Stahelski is also knee-deep in his long-gestating Highlander reboot

. How do you feel about fan campaigns to get a different cut of a movie, or even a redesign of a character likeThat’s a good question. To tell you the truth, I never really thought about it. I know it’s different now because there’s so many more products and much more content. The studio, the development systems work really differently. When I was growing up, if you saw one movie a month at a theater, you were, wow, you were going out a lot.

Now, if you didn’t like my choice, should I go back to number three and cut out the opening scene? Should I cut out the horses because it was a little too extreme? Should I cut out the dogs because it was too crazy? Or is that what you liked about it? I’m very fortunate as a director. The cuts you see in the movie, I would say, for whatever reason, those are 95-99 percent my cuts. The studio’s been very cool with me. They let me do whatever I want. So, what you’re seeing is kind of my cut.

I would absolutely listen. I mean, I read all kinds of stuff; you can’t help it. You get bored. I’ll read what fans want to see inlose its steam? How do we reinvent number four? I get all that. I read. Of course, I’d be stupid not to listen to the fans. I mean, that’s how I get the creative leeway to do what I want, by really listening to my fans. But you’ve got to realize too, the fans don’t know what’s in my head and they haven’t read the scripts that we’re working on and all that.

The actors I’ve worked with, the majority of them, male or female, young or old, they want to participate to bring the character to life as much as possible. All the really good ones I’ve worked with, they all want to do their own stunts, meaning they want to take it as far as they’re able to. That’s a big difference than actually doing them, though. I think the want is there for everybody. Now, half the time, it’s us saying, “Okay, that’s as far as we’re going to go.” Everyone has limitations.

As far as I know, everyone that I know in the stunt community and my stunt team, no one is concerned. That’s not even a thought, because actors, in general, want to bring their character to life and push the limitations of their own capabilities to further bring a character to life. That’s awesome. Every stunt person I know and everyone on my team, we want the actor’s involvement as much as possible. I want to see the guy’s face. I want him to bring his own acting to it.
