From hearing stuntman Corey Eubanks on the radio, I learned a few things:
- Tom Cruise does not “do all his own stunts”
- Stuntmen do not earn that much- there is a “scale” just like other actors
- Therefore, stuntmen are afffordable for independent film
I want car stunts in my movies! Guns! Maaaybe explosions; I know they are pretty but don’t really motivate plot.
They might cost more than getting street racers / sideshow guys to do car stunts for free, but a lot less sketchy. Although maybe we could recruit those guys and make them more legit by making our own stunt company up here in the SF Bay Area.
