Director and former stuntman David Ellis knows what scares people. The Snakes on the Plane and Final Destination director has taken on snakes, death, and now sharks in his latest horror thriller SHARK KNIGHT 3D.  The former stuntman played bait for the cameras in Deep Blue Sea (Samuel L. Jackson) and worked underwater in A Perfect Storm (George Clooney). In SHARK NIGHT 3D, David brings his knowledge of stunts, water, and shooting with 3D cameras which he is sharing with CineMovie in our Q&A with the director.

David Ellis spoke to CineMovie by telephone from the Boston set of R.I.P.P. where he is currently working as the stunt/action director. David Ellis started his career at nineteen as a stuntman in movies such as Bound For Glory (1976) and Scarface (1983), eventually becoming a stunt coordinator and action director.  He transitioned into the director's chair in 1995 with Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco and Final Destination 2 (2003). When not at the helm of a movie, David continues his work as a stunt director, "I love directing action."
