EXCLUSIVE: Mel Gibson has been set to star in 'The Continental,' the prequel to the Keanu Reeves film series JohnWick
Braveheart,The John Wick trilogy has grossed almost $600 million worldwide. The films have been scripted by Derek Kolstad and directed by Chad Stahelski, andis currently shooting in Germany, France and Japan with Reeves reprising his assassin character.
Executive producers Greg Coolidge and Kirk Ward are writing the event series and serve as showrunners. Thunder Road Pictures’ Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, Stahelski, Kolstad, David Leitch, Shawn Simmons, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese will also serve as executive producers. From its modest origins — Wick is coaxed out of retirement to hunt down the son of a mob boss after the kid killed the puppy that Wick’s dead wife left him — the movies have grown increasingly in gross and ambition. It has become a state-of-the-art action series that has brought in such thesps as Laurence Fishburne, Willem Dafoe, Halle Berry and Common. The mythology has been doled out in dribs and drabs, but the centerpiece has been the hotel.
: “It’s such a successful franchise, it’s on its way to its fourth and fifth installments as a movie,” he said. “It’s got such a great mythology and such interesting style, and the gun fu approach of these incredibly poetic stunt esthetics is just out of this world, which is why the movie with Keanu Reeves — who is so amazing in everything he does but particularly compelling as John Wick in our mind — it just cries out to be something in TV.
