Chad Stahelski is behind some of the most incredible action movies of the past decade, directing the John Wick trilogy starring Keanu Reeves. The filmmaker got his start in Hollywood as a stunt performer in franchises such as The Hunger Games, Deadpool, and The Expendables. In addition, he did the stunt work doubling for Keanu Reeves in several films before turning his sights to directing alongside the beloved actor. Now Stahelski will take on the producer role with Day Shift, starring Jamie Foxx and Dave Franco.

This is a new position for Stahelski, but he's happy to help Day Shift director J.J. Perry with the work. Perry has yet to direct a feature film as he too comes from the word of stunt work. However, the pair worked together on the John Wick franchise, and now Perry decided to take his talent to the director's chair just as Stahelski did. During an interview with Collider, Stahelski spoke about assisting Perry with his feature film debut.

"I got to talk to J.J. and like, 'Look, man. I got to be your guide up the mountain. You got to climb the mountain, but I can help tell you where not to step. Maybe not where to step, but where not to step.' And as far as the producer goes, 'Look, I got him, I get it. Give him the rope,' or 'Hey, this is where we need to force him into the box. He'll be twice as creative. Trust me. This guy is going to pull it out.' So, I wish I could tell you there's some formula or algorithm to talk to either side, but there's really not. At the end of the day, Steve, it's about people. And if you understand what people want or what their focus is, you can help guide the other side through that. It's, you know?
