Interesting: no streamer was interested in a mid-range budgeted (50 million) intelligent spy movie directed by Soderbergh with lots of movie stars…

Crazy.

Interesting indeed. It seems that he would only take this job though because nobody, not even independents will finance his own projects.

So, welcome to the IP empire.

So, John Wick with a female protagonist and a cameo from Reeves.

The story was at an end. Now reheated leftovers. Yawn.

I deliberately posted with no comment of my own knowing many on here are fans of the John Wick series. I don’t think it’s a very confident trailer with its near-constant references to Keanu Reeves and the accompanying characters from that world. The earlier teaser trailer with the flamethrower versus fire hose was a better trailer in my opinion. To each their own. Outside of Ana herself, I have little interest.

As a friend of mine once said when asked who he would want to play him in a movie of his life:

“I want to play myself and I want my wife to be played by Ana de Armas.”

It’s not a confident trailer because the studio, at this point, knows that this film is going to bomb massively at the box office.

A masterpiece of modern PR-speak…

John Wick has been 4 hits so far. I consider 5 a lucky number, hopefully it will continue. There are other spinoffs in the John Wick universe planned, let’s see if they can be made!

Mixed opinions, I liked the first. But both Disney/Pixar need to start making more original movies again. I understand that they want franchises from a business standpoint, but most of their original stories are timeless. At least the theatrical sequels have generally been much better than the Disney Direct to Video garbage. Still, better Coco 2 than Cars 4. Also, I’m a hypocrite. Where’s Incredibles 3? Can’t be any worse than the average MCU movie. And Zootopia 2 is a rare sequel I’m looking forward to. It’s a shame that The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is bombing at the box office. I hope that Disney can go back to hand-drawn animation one day.
