“The Killer’s Game” is now playing in theaters! This action-comedy stars Dave Bautista and Sofia Boutella and is directed by JJ Perry. It’s based on the 1997 book by Jay Bonansinga.

In “The Killer’s Game”, Bautista plays a long-time well-respected hitman, Joe Flood, who has just learned that he has a terminal illness. But being the prideful man he is, as well as wanting to help out his new girlfriend, decided the best way to go is to put out a hit on himself. But turns out, Joe may have more life left in him than he thought.

CHATTING WITH A HITMAN… KIND OF

In a film like “The Killer’s Game”, your going to need quite a few hitmen. Each of them with a unique way of completing their task of taking out their target. With that in mind, I spoke with actor and martial artist Marko Zaror. In the film, he plays the hitman, Emilio “El Botas”. He has a unique way of taking out his victims as he fights to the rhythm of Flamenco. All while cutting up his targets using deadly spurs on his boots.

In our conversation, Zaror talked to us about the challenges of mixing the movements of dance and martial arts. As well as some of the similarities he found in Flamenco and fighting. It’s important to note that Zaror did all his stunts and fight sequences. It was a fun conversation that you can check out above!
