John Wick-regissören och Keanu Reeves utmanar Oscar-akademin att lägga till ett stuntpris

Filmer som John Wick-rullarna hyllas ofta av media och biobesökare för välkoreograferade stunts som hjälper till att skapa spänning, men stunts hedras inte av Academy med något eget pris. Både John Wick-regissören Chad Stahelski och Keanu Reeves tycker detta borde ändras.

I en intervju hos IGN säger de båda att det är dags att denna aspekt av filmskapande erkänns mer formellt:

"Honestly, I've been around that for my 20-something-year career in stunts And there's a lot of, I don't know, just this ethereal banter, this wives' tale, of why stunts aren't in the Oscars or why stunts should be in the Oscars. As far as I know, the talk has never happened. I don't think there's anybody in the Academy or anybody outside the Academy that wouldn't agree we're one of the main nine departments. We are in every trailer. Obviously, it's a massive department. It's a huge creative thing. So has any journalist or stunt person ever walked up to the President of the Academy or a member of the Academy and go, 'Why don't stunts [get recognized]?'"
