Keanu Reeves To Return In ‘John Wick 2’
Variety is reporting that Lionsgate has confirmed that Keanu Reeves will be reprising his role in John Wick 2, the sequel to the hyperviolent action thriller about a retired hitman who comes out of retirement to take revenge on the men who killed his puppy, a gift from his late wife. David Leitch and Chad Stahelski are also set to return as directors with the script written by Derek Kolstad, who wrote the first.
No release date has been set but it’s exciting to hear that we’re getting a sequel. The original was a great return to what action movies were all about, which was gratuitous amounts of violence based off a razor thin plot. The film also boasted a fantastic kill count, with Wick offing 76 people in the course of 101 minutes.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
