I already have a few spies lined up for a test-screening that will occur in the West Coast this coming week for “John Wick: Chapter 4.” Stay tuned …
The film is only set to be released on March 24th, 2023. Keanu is back, so are Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane and Lance Reddick. Director Chad Stahelski is also back in the fray working with a script co-written by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch.
Production began on June 28, 2021, in Berlin and Paris, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and wrapped on October 27, 2021. Why the gap between wrap and release?
A fifth chapter has already been greenlit with Reeves saying he’ll keep making “John Wick” movies as long as the franchise stays successful. So he’s basically playing a game of wait-until-one-bombs at the box-office.
Given how successful these films have been, we could potentially end up with 8 or 9 of these. I’m not complaining, the first two were fantastic and the third one decent enough. However, a sense of repetitiveness is starting to seep into this franchise, but hopefully Reeves/Stahelski have a fresh and winning formula for ‘Chapter 4.’
