Later this week we get the chance to look behind the lens and behind the hard-hitting stunts of the John Wick franchise – transforming from impressive indie action flick to mega-international-franchise status.
The John Wick series holds a special place for me. Maybe not so much the 3rd one, but certainly the bulk of the releases so far and especially the first entry. The stunts were meticulously crafted by Keanu Reeves and his stunt/screen combat training crew and brought something truly unexpected to the screen. Now we’re in a bit of a question mark period, with the finality of the 4th entry in the mainline franchise but also the clear heavy inclusion of Keanu Reeves’ character in the upcoming Ballerina spin-off – led by the incredible Ana De Armas. I don’t know if it will shed any light on the story, but we will get to hear just how much those fake-bullet squibs and crunching impacts hurt in real life.
