John Wick is ten years old, and his action franchise only looks to be just starting.
We gotta write that out of the script.
And like, we’re like, ‘No, no, we’re really doing it.’
And we’re like, ‘We’re not.’
So, the afterlife was kind of as big as its beginning.
So it wasn’t like it in one minute it was like gangbusters."
There was a great feeling of camaraderie in that movie.
I think once that’s it, you kind of relax a little bit and enjoy the process.
But it was that always like, ooh, we’re gonna kill a puppy, huh?
The process of making the movie was anything but a cakewalk, however.
In fact, the filmmakers were adamant that it was an almost hellish experience.
“The financing didn’t come through like they said it was gonna come through.
It was extremely shady, in retrospect.
And we were expecting a tranche of money… And so I left a gigantic hole in a movie that was already pretty tightly budgeted.
And so everybody had to chip in.”
The first movie was very hard.
So, it was just sort of mayhem.
Crew members stopped coming in, and Basil was paying for wardrobe…
It was basically imploding in front of our eyes."

There were the gold coins, and there was the guy, the old guy in a suit…
They weren’t written as mythic, you know.
We could make it slightly heightened."
“We have these things called Super meetings at Keanu’s house.
And I’m not kidding you, they’re like, nine hours.
Like, it’s just insane.”
People said, ‘Oh, you’ve helped change or influence the action genre.
And you’re like, oh, that’s kind of cool.
But like, I didn’t really do anything fresh or new.
It’s just a new mix.
It was through our own filter…
So we’re like, we’ll fuck it.
There are Continentals in every city, and there are all these High Table things.
That’s when we kind of blew it up to go, oh, fuck it.
We’re just going to do Tolkien.
We’ll [be] breaking everything up.
Actors that want to play and come along for the ride.
You get incoming calls.
But really, it’s also technology… What VFX could help us accomplish three years later."
