Description

Darrin Prescott was attracted to the challenge of stuntwork. Early in his career, he doubled for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hugo Weaving, thanks to his training in martial arts, driving, motorcycles, and snowboarding, he even competed in the 2001 X-Games. Moving from stuntwork to stunt coordinator, he worked on projects like ‘Eraser,’ ‘Fight Club,’ Jackass,’ ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith,’ ‘Spider-Man 2,’ ‘The Bourne Ultimatum,’ ‘Drive,’ ‘John Wick,’ ‘True Detective,’ ‘Baby Driver,’ and ‘Black Panther.’ Now Prescott is using his talents for the James Mangold film, ‘Ford v Ferrari.’ American car designer Carroll Shelby and driver Ken Miles battle corporate interference, the laws of physics and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford and challenge Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.” Prescott also plays racing legend Bob Bondurant in the film. In this interview, Prescott talks about misconceptions in stunt work, how they used Car Fu in ‘John Wick’ car chases, why Jackie Chan uses his environment to increase production value, how they shot the chase scenes in ‘Drive,’ and how budget is less important than rehearsal time in action sequences. Stay tuned for more interviews on ‘Ford v Ferrari’ coming soon, and if you enjoyed this interview, join thousands of viewers for the new YouTube video essay series, Creative Principles, which dissects new films, series, and more: bit.ly/2FARJz5
