The mega-successful franchise about the silent hitman John Wick will be replenished with not one sequel, but two at once. This became known recently at a press conference of the companies 87 Eleven Entertainment и CJ E&M.
About the fact that the trilogy "John Wick" will receive a sequel, it became known last year immediately after its release "Parabelluma". However, in the dungeons of the film companies, it was decided to shoot one big film, which would later be divided into two parts. They should be the final one in the numbered franchise.
The screenplay for the two sequels was written by the screenwriter of the main trilogy. Derek Kolstad, who, according to information from the press conference, has already written the script for the spin-off "John Wick" - TV series "Continental". However, apart from this information, we did not receive any news about the upcoming series.
It also said that at the moment it is unknown whether the director of the trilogy will return Chad Stahelski to the position of director of sequels or will continue to perform producing duties along with the leading actor Keanu Reeves. Chad himself is considering a similar development of events, but another project is already assigned to him - a remake "Highlander", about which, however, there has been no news for a long time.
But information has emerged that the Hollywood remake of the 2010 South Korean hit "The Man from Nowhere" ready to shoot.
According to the Deadline, a project whose copyright was acquired back in 2012, has finally found its creators. Took over producing duties Chad Stahelski, and adapted the script Derek Costald. Accordingly, the same companies are at the helm of production 87 Eleven Entertainment together and CJ E&M. The action movie will be distributed New line cinema.
Currently, the project is looking for a director for the future film, and is also casting actors. If you have any thoughts about who could play the main role - welcome, as they say, in the comments!

Played the main role Won Bing (“The 38th Parallel”), and the film became a commercial hit for the then developing South Korean cinema.
We can only wait for news and familiar names on the film crew. The stunt team is responsible for the action 87Eleven, so we don’t have to worry about this part.
Another author and creator of the John Wick franchise is David Leitch (Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde, Fast and Furious: Hobbs & Shaw) was assigned to a new action film called "High-speed train" (Bullet Train), starring Hollywood star and Oscar winner – Bred Pitt ("Once Upon a Time in Hollywood").
News agencies recently reported this THR и Deadline. "High-speed train" will be an adaptation of the popular Japanese novel by Kotaro Isaki, released in 2010 and became a bestseller.

The future film is supported by producers Kelly McCormick ("Deadpool 2"), Kathleen Samick (“My name is Mohammed Ali”) and famous director Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”, “Southpaw”). The project will also be monitored from the Japanese side - producers Ryosuke Saegusa и Yuma Tareda.

Sad ending, albeit with a joke...
