The beforehand introduced John Wick anime challenge remains to be on the way in which, and now it is apparently a movie about how the titular character retired.
Round this time final 12 months, John Wick sequence director Chad Stahelski shared that an anime challenge set within the franchise’s world was within the works, and on the time it was deliberate to be a TV present. Now, although, based on a current interview from The Hollywood Reporter with Stahelski, evidently the anime has been retooled barely. This outing will apparently be a prequel, targeted on everybody’s favorite titular murderer, as he units out on the “unimaginable process” that allowed him to retire for love. Whether or not that is one thing that wanted to be coated in a movie or not is up for debate, however nonetheless, if completed proper a John Wick anime could possibly be a reasonably enjoyable journey to the cinema.
On the time of the anime’s announcement, Stahelski stated they’re doing an anime as a result of “I like Japanese anime a lot. To create all of the cool tales that anime may obtain higher than we may and the TV present to broaden our world, we’ll nonetheless get our repair, you realize what I imply? And we’ll nonetheless have all of the enjoyable.” Stahelski is clearly attempting to get his mitts on as a lot anime as attainable, as he is additionally been overseeing the motion sequences within the upcoming Shinichiro Watanabe-directed sequence Lazarus, Watanabe finest recognized for creating Cowboy Bebop, so I am anticipating some robust struggle scenes from that one.
Stahelski additionally spoke of a attainable John Wick 5, although did not essentially decide to something coming that approach, saying, “is there a possibility to do [John Wick 5]? In fact, there’s, whether or not it’s for cash or for creativity. Jesus, within the final three years, I’ve already had three or 4 variations of a John Wick 5. They had been other ways to crack the story, however it’s nearly a psychological train for me.”
Nevertheless, to protect the ending of the fourth movie, he did observe that it “wouldn’t be a part of that [John Wick: Chapter 4] storyline. It could not be what you’d assume it’s. So far as [John Wick: Chapter 4], we’ve peaked.”
There’s loads within the works for John Wick in any case, as there is a sequel TV sequence on the way in which, alongside that Ballerina spin-off due out subsequent 12 months.
