Age-discrimination lawsuits are not uncommon in Hollywood. What’s unusual about the one Bj Davis filed Thursday is the allegation that a co-worker tackled him with Davis’ age in mind. Davis now is 63, he said, and worked in stunts from 1978 until 2013. In the latter year, he said, mistreatment on the set of Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ended his career. First, he said, he nearly couldn’t get work on the superhero sequel, despite his formidable career (he holds world records for helicopter stunts, he said). He alleged that stunt coordinator James Armstrong of Armstrong Action

Credit: Nicko Ray Stunt Coordinators, Andy & James Armstrong have been working with Marc Webb since 2010, when The Amazing Spider-Man started filming. The duo have since gone on to grow relationships with the cast and crew and eventually returned for the sequel. Discussing some interesting details regarding how Spidey swings and how many stunts Emma Stone actually does, the duo have a rather long interview, so you can read the full interview in the link below! On Spidey's Movement: James: Yeah. A lot of it was developed in the last film, and we spent a lot of time working with Andrew [Garfield]. Andy: One of the early briefs on the last film was that Marc [Webb] wanted to do the action a lot more real and grounded in reality - trying to minimise how much CGI was used. We came on first, and I very glibly said that we could definitely make the...

How do you bring a web-swinging comic book hero to life? We spoke to the stunt coordinators behind The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to find out...
On paper, it looks so graceful, so effortless, and Spider-Man’s swing is surely among the most striking images in comics. But when it came to translating that image to a live-action movie in last year’s The Amazing Spider-Man, the process of making Peter Parker’s web-slinging abilities look convincing was anything but effortless.
Determined to bring those movements to life with physical performers rather than computer graphics alone, stunt coordinators Andy and James Armstrong employed an Olympic gymnast and put leading man Andrew Garfield through months of training to achieve the weighty, dramatic swings they wanted. The technique they perfected - which used complicated mechanical rigs to simulate the violent forces that would be required to swing...

As usual, the Oscar nominees for Best Documentary Short Subject mainly involve issues of immediate social and political value, with one curious exception: "God is Greater than Elvis," Rebecca Cammisa and Julie Anderson's portrait of former actress Dolores Hart's transition from acclaimed Tony winner (and the woman who first smooched Elvis onscreen, in 1957's "Loving You") to devout Catholic nun. In other cases, however, the subject speaks to larger concerns. "The Barber of Birmingham: Foot Soldier of the Civil Rights Movement" centers on the proud stance of James Armstrong, who died in 2009 after cutting hair for over 50 years at the same ramshackle shop. Directors Robin Gryday and the late Gail Dolgin explore the living museum of Armstrong's workshop, a place adorned with signs and newspaper clippings of pertinent moments in black history. The man embodies the movement, relishing the filmmakers with stories of taking on Martin Luther...
