The future of stuntwork

A backlash against dangerous stunts following the death of Sonya Jones, coinciding with developments in Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) that make such stunts unnecessary threatens to reduce stunt performers to the status of body doubles. And yet a backlash against movies that resemble video games could lead to a resurrection in pure stuntwork. Movies such as The Matrix and have shown how CGI and stunts can be integrated for maximum effect. But - if for no other reason than safety - it?s doubtful that the records established by Hooper and Sharky?s Machine will be broken anytime soon.
