When preparing for the fight choreography, the first thing I have to think about is what fits in the script. Whatever goes along with the story line and the character's personality; they have to be matched.
I'm not retired, I will continue directing films and doing fight choreography. I won't stop.
You look for those actors or actresses that fit the personality to populate the film.
The invention progress is tough sometimes. When I first choreographed the Drunken Master in the past with Jackie Chan, I spent months to create the whole sequence. There were no fight sequences before; it's just a name. I have to choreograph it all by myself.
I have a lot of actors I want to work with; Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, and Uma Thurman.
