If you’re a fiend for the world of John Wick, you’ll want to watch this.
A new behind-the-scenes documentary, Wick Is Pain, will let you step inside the Continental hotel and go behind the scenes of Chad Stahelski’s Keanu Reeves-led, puppy-fuelled, towering body count-clad assassin action franchise.
Directed by Jeffrey Doe, the film features interviews with the cast and crew including Reeves and Stahelski, alongside producers Erica Lee, Basil Iwanyk, and David Leitch. From the looks of the trailer, there’s plenty of on-set footage of Reeves in full John Wick stunt mode — as his stunt double Jackson Spidell says, “When you see Keanu in pain onscreen, it’s probably for real.” After all, Stahelski did hit Reeves with a car.
But the film also promises to go into the fact that the first John Wick movie in 2014 — the one with the puppy that started it all — almost didn’t happen.
Wick Is Pain is available to rent and buy on digital platforms from May 9, after screening at Beyond Fest at the American Cinematheque on May 8.
