This weekend, a new film from the world of John Wick comes in theaters. It’s called Ballerina And we guess You have heard of it. But two years ago, did you hear about A John Wick streaming series Was it on Peacock? Maybe not. The continental: of the world of John Wick made his debut on the streamer in 2023 to medium criticisms and the response to lukewarm public. He has not yet returned.
Part of this is probably because two of the most crucial people involved in the John Wick The franchise, the star Keanu Reeves and the current co-creator / supervisor Chad Stahelski, were not actively involved. And, in a new interview speaking of both Ballerina and a new documentary called The wick is the painStahelski seems more than a little disappointed on this subject.
“Keanu and I were – I would not say the gap, but our opinion was heard and not really noted,” said Stahelski The Hollywood Reporter. “”[The studio] I tried to convince myself that they knew what they were doing. A group of individuals thought they had the magic sauce. But if you take out the intuitivity of Basil Iwanyk, if you eliminate the way of Keanu to provide an eccentric dialogue and if you remove all the visuals I have in my head of Wong Kar-Wai, Anime, Leone, Bernardo Bertucci or Andrei Tchaikovsky … So it’s not the same thing. They thought it was as simple as using anamorphic lenses, making a stung hotel, putting a strange dialogue and inserting a criminal drama. »»
Stahelski continued, admitting his way of doing things does not always align with the status quo. “If you have seen our process, you say to yourself:” You tell me this billion dollars franchise, is this way? “” He said. “I go beyond my next film in London and we saw a nice location yesterday which completely changed the second act. We rewritten everything. I find great members of the distribution and constantly rewrite their parts. This is what makes [the movies] So good and organic – we are constantly improving. But the studio likes to know what they get for their money and want to lock a script for budgetary reasons. While we say, “Just write the check, we will see you on the finish line.” »»
Which, according to him, was the case with The continental. This was not the case, however, with Ballerina, in which Stahelski and Reeves were involved. And this will not be the case with potential John Wick 5What Stahelski knows that everyone wants, but he is still not completely sold.
“I’m not going to lie to you, it’s a bit of an enigma,” he said about bringing it WickDied in the last film, return. “Me and Mike Finch – the writer 4 Who also writes 5– We have a fairly good story which, I think, is cool. Once we have a 50 -page book, and if we feel it, we will sit with Keanu and shape this thing. Listen, everyone seems to want it. This is to know if we crack it. We actively work there. It’s just … will it be satisfactory?
As of John Wick 5We will have to wait and see. But if you head to The Hollywood Reporter We promise that the rest of Stahelski’s interview is incredibly satisfactory.
