There's been a recent trend of stunt coordinators making the move from performers to directors and the results have been largely successful (ahem John Wick and Atomic Blonde) and the trend is also spreading through the indie world and most recently, turning James Mark.
A former martial arts performer-turned stunt man, Mark has been working in the stunt world for over a decade but with Kill Order, he's made the jump to the director's chair in his first feature film.
Clocking in at 80 minutes, the movie is an action packed story of a teenager, played by Mark's equally talented brother Chris Mark, who discovers he has some very dangerous abilities and is being hunted by an organization that wants to kill him.

For years, brothers Chris and James Mark have helped mastermind intense fight scenes in cinema with their renowned stunt work on numerous TV shows and movies. For their latest collaboration, though, Chris steps into the lead role and James goes behind the camera, and we had a chance to catch up with the brothers to discuss their new sci-fi action movie Kill Order in our latest Q&A feature.
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, and congratulations on Kill Order! What attracted you to playing the lead role of David Lee?
Chris Mark: It’s always been a dream of mine to play the lead in a film and do all my own action. When I read the script, I knew playing the role of David would be a lot of work, but I was most excited to portray both personalities of David.

What happens when you let a group of stunt guys make a movie? If you've got big names attached, you end up with something like John Wick but if you're not that fortunate, you settle for a smaller budget and pack as many stunts as you can into it and out comes something that looks a little like Kill Order.
The movie, directed by James Mark who has an extensive resume covering all types of stunt work, stars Chris Mark, a stunt performer and coordinator in his own right, as David, a student who is secretly suffering from memories of a terrible past.
When a group of armed men break into his classroom and try to take him, he taps into skills and power he didn't know he possessed, fights the bad guys off and then goes on the run, along the way trying to figure out what ha [Continued ...]...

He has no name. Only purpose. Rlj Entertainment has debuted an official trailer for a sci-fi action movie from Canada titled Kill Order, which is actually about a student who has latent special powers. From the description, this sounds like some martial arts film from Hong Kong but it's actually made by a Canadian stuntman named James Mark, making his feature directorial debut. His stunt group, Team 2X, has started making films and this is one of their latest offerings. Chris Mark (James' brother) stars as a troubled high school student who gains superpowers when a group of armed men break into his classroom. The full cast includes Daniel Park, Denis Akiyama, Melee Hutton, Jessica Clement, Jason Gosbee, and Alain Moussi. This film is pretty much just a fun way to show off cool martial arts stunt skills, and not much else. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for James Mark's Kill Order,...
