About John Wick in brief
John Wick is an American neo-noir action-thriller media franchise created by screenwriter Derek Kolstad and owned by Summit Entertainment. Keanu Reeves plays John Wick, a retired hitman seeking vengeance for the killing of the dog given to him by his recently deceased wife. The franchise began with the release of John Wick in 2014 followed by two sequels, John Wick: Chapter 2 on February 10, 2017, and John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum on May 17, 2019. All three films were considered critical and commercial successes, accumulating a collective gross of more than USD 587 million worldwide. A fifth installment is also in development, and it will be shot back-to-back with the fourth film in 2021. In July 2017, Lionsgate announced the development of a spin-off film titled Ballerina, with the intent to expand the franchise within the same fictional world. The story — written by Shay Hatten — involves a young woman who is raised to be an assassin, seeking revenge on the men who killed her family. The film will follow the same ballerina previously portrayed by Unity Phelan in the John Wick franchise, Atomic Blonde. In May 2020, Full Circle Cinema reported that the studio is looking toward Chloë Grace Moretz to play the lead role in the film, with director Chad Stahelski serving as director, producer and producer, respectively. In October 2019, director Stahelski revealed that the film will most likely not make its 2021 release date, due to his commitment on The Matrix 4.
Partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film is now scheduled for release on May 27, 2022, with Spiral taking its previous spot. In August 2020, Lions Gate CEO Jon Feltheimer confirmed that a fifth film was also being developed. It is intended to beShot back- to-back. The film began production in early 2021, and production is set to begin in early 2019, with a scheduled release date of May 21, 2021. This film focuses on John Wick and his search for the men who broke into his home, stole his beloved vintage car, and killed his puppy. At the beginning of the first film, Wick has been inactive for five years, having retired from the Tarasov Russian Mafia. John Wick is on the run, being hunted with a USD 14 million open contract on his life for breaking a foundational rule: taking a life on Continental Hotel grounds. John should have already been executed but Continental’s manager, Winston, has given him a one-hour grace period before he is \”excommunicado —his membership revoked with him banned from all services and cut off from other members. In April 2020 during an interview with Collider, Chad Sta Helski revealed that there’s been a 100-page \”scriptment\” written for the film. He also revealed during the same interview, that he would be involved with the project should the sequel be successful.
