Like us, the director of ‘John Wick’ “The Continental” did not love “The Continental”.

This weekend a new film from the world of John Wick Come to the cinemas. It means ballerina And we suspect You heard about it. But they heard about it two years ago A full -fledged John Wick Streaming series That was on peacocks? Maybe not. The continental: from the world of John Wick Debut in the streamer in 2023 on average reviews and lukewarm audience reaction. It still has to return.

Part of it is likely that two of the most important people who are involved in the John Wick Franchise, Star Keanu Reeves and co-creator/director/current supervisor Chad Stahelski, were not actively involved. And in a new interview that talks about both ballerina and a new documentary called named Anch is painStahelski sounds more than a little amazed at it.

“Keanu and I were – I would not say that our opinion was heard and wasn’t really noticed,” said Stahelski The Hollywood reporter. “(The Studio) Tried to convince me they knew what they doing. A Group of individuals thought they the magic sauce. But IF you take basil iwanyk’s producing intuitiveness, if you take out keanu’s way of delivering quurky dialogue and IF you take all The Visuals I have in My Head from Wong Kar-Wai, Anime, Leone, Bernardo Bertucci or Andrei Tchaikovsky… Then it’s the same.

Stahelski continued and admitted that his way of doing things does not always have to do with the status quo. “When you have seen our process, you would say:” You tell me that this billion dollar franchise does it? “, He said,” I’m looking for my next film in London and yesterday we saw a cool place that completely changed the second act. We rewritten the whole thing. I find great actors and constantly write their parts. That makes (the films) so good and organic – we will constantly update.

What, as it sounds, the case was The continental. However, it was not the case with Ballerina, in which both Stahelski and Reeves were involved. And it will not be the case with a potential John Wick 5What Stahelski knows that everyone wants, but they are still not completely sold.

“I will not lie to you, it’s a bit of a mystery” wickwho died in the last film. “Me and Mike Finch – the writer 4 Who also writes 5– We have a pretty good story that I think is cool. As soon as we have a 50-page book and when we feel it, we sit together with Keanu and shape this thing. Look, everyone seems to want it. It’s a question of whether we crack it. We are actively working on it. It’s just … Will it be satisfactory? “

As for John Wick 5We have to wait and see. But when they go The Hollywood reporter We promise that the rest of Stahelski’s interview will be incredibly satisfactory.
