Video Interview: Director James McTeigue (NINJA ASSASSIN)
You may not know the name James McTeigue but you should. To his credit, the Australian-born filmmaker has worked on The Matrix Trilogy, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and Speed Racer. Those are just to name a few. McTeigue has served as Assistant Director and Second Unit Director on some pretty high profile projects for two decades, often collaborating with the visionary Wachowski Brothers (The Matrix Trilogy). It was the brothers who gave McTiegue his first gig as a director in 2005, when he helmed the film adaptation of the popular Alan Moore (“Watchmen”) graphic novel, V for Vendetta. Now McTeigue is back with his next film, the action-packed NINJA ASSASSIN. We sat down with the director at this past year’s Fantastic Fest to discuss NINJA ASSASSIN, in all its bloody glory.
