Jon Wick-instruktør og Keanu Reeves udfordrer Oscar-akademiet til at tilføje stunt-pris

Film som de diverse John Wick-kapitler hyldes af medier og biografgængere for solidt koreograferede stunts, som er med til at skabe spænding, men stunts hyldes ikke rigtig af Oscar-akademiet med en dedikeret pris. Det mener både John Wick-instruktør Chad Stahelski og Keanu Reeves dog bør ændre sig.

I et interview med IGN siger de begge, er det er på tide at den del af filmkunsten også anerkendes mere formelt:

"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]?'"

Er du enig?
