The Killer’s Nathalie Emmanuel and Omar Sy Discuss John Woo’s Obsession With Pigeons

Chun Yow-fat iconically leaped across the room, unloading two full clips at the same time– and director John Woo instantly became a filmmaking legend. The same legend who pit Nicolas Cage against John Travolta and somehow made Tom Cruise an even bigger star. Master of the genre, John Woo, is back in action, directing a remake of his own beloved, brutal film The Killer, brought to the ever-expanding world of streaming.

This new vision of the classic movie brings forth an infamous Parisian assassin known as Zee, played by Emmy-nominee Nathalie Emmanuel of The Fast Saga and Game of Thrones. After consciously breaking the rules on assignment, Zee finds herself on the run from dangerous former alliances, as well as a savvy police investigator named Sey, played by Golden Globe-nominee Omar Sy from the Jurassic World franchise and Lupin.

Collider's Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to sit down with Emmanuel and Sy to discuss their wall-to-wall action set pieces, surprisingly short shooting time, and if they ever discussed slow-motion birds with their illustrious director. They also tease upcoming projects like Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis and Joe Carnahan's Shadow Force.
