After years working as a second unit director, visual effects supervisor, and television director on projects including Runaways, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and See starring Jason Momoa, James Madigan has finally gotten behind the lens of his very own feature film, the adrenaline-charged action thriller Fight or Flight.
The movie stars Josh Hartnett as exiled American agent, Lucas Reyes, who's given one last chance to redeem himself and return to the US. Katee Sackhoff's Katherine Brunt tasks him with boarding a flight from Bangkok to San Francisco where he needs to identify and apprehend a high-value target called The Ghost. Trouble is, Lucas isn't the only person on that flight who's after them. The plan is filled with assassins who are not only assigned to kill The Ghost, but Lucas too.
Following a Valnet exclusive screening of Fight of Flight in New York City, Collider's Perri Nemiroff moderated a Q&A with Madigan, Hartnett, and Sackhoff to dig into how they crafted such an impressive independently made action film. During their conversation, the trio discussed the inspirations behind their anti-hero lead, Hartnett's hard work and dedication while performing all of his Fight or Flight stunts himself, what it was like working with The Raid cinematographer Matt Flannery, and so much more.
