One of the best action movies to come out in recent history was last year’s stellar John Wick. Built upon a razor thin plot and packed to the brim with loads of action and violence, the movie was a throwback to the 80’s when the body count was high and the number of bullets fired was higher.
With it being confirmed that a sequel is going to be filming soon, Reeves spoke with target=”blank”>Collider about what we’re going to see unfold in the next chapter of the film.
I think we have a really good premise, and it’s an organic premise. It’s basically — to me there’s John Wick and then there’s John. John is the married guy whose wife just died, and that five years of his life. Then there’s John Wick, who’s the mythical assassin,” Reeves explains. “In this, John Wick’s past comes and infiltrates John’s life and John Wick, in a way, has to fight for John.”
Additionally, the writers have heard the fans and their love of the Hotel Continental. “Chad and the writer, Derek Kolstad, they’ve really listened to what people have enjoyed about the work and how they speak about it. So there’s definitely that influence of the other world, the Continental world — the look, the feel, what is it about the movie, what made people like it — is definitely being payed attention to and the world opens up in this chapter,” Reeves reveals.
According to Reeves, the sequel could begins shooting as soon as the end of this month. You can read more at the link above.
