The “John Wick” movies are additionally, Lee acknowledges, a mounting train in making an attempt to outdo what got here earlier than. “Chapter 3” needed to be even longer and bigger than “Chapter 2.” No marvel “Chapter 4” is as large as it’s. Whereas brainstorming, Lee stated, Stahelski would give you one wild thought and, it appears, it might go instantly into the brand new film. It appears Lee was prepared to entertain any wild thought that originally made the film greater. She stated: 

“I believe after the third movie we had been like, ‘Oh my God, we are able to by no means do that once more.’ After which I will always remember, Chad and I had lunch sooner or later and he was like, ‘I am pondering Japan. I am pondering nunchucks and snow. Have you ever seen what they’ll do with snowmobiles as of late?’ And I used to be like, ‘Okay, we’ve a film.’ It was such small items however I may simply see the wheels in his mind spinning, and we had been off to the races at that time.”

Certainly, a few of the 12 months’s new snowmobiles look fairly cool. In a bizarre stroke of luck, COVID-related delays and a scheduling battle allowed Lee and the opposite “John Wick” filmmakers to actually suss out their story and determine which motion sequences can be most sensible. Lee stated: 

“Then there was Covid, however the good or the unhealthy of it was that it gave us additionally some extra time to develop the script and work on it. And Keanu did ‘The Matrix [Resurrections],’ in order that modified. We had a little bit bit extra time in between than we usually do.” 

The marinating allowed Lee and Stahelski to make an motion epic that earned $73.5 million in its opening weekend. 

No snowmobiles, sadly, however a formidable feat nonetheless.
