Keanu Reeves, Directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski Return
Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF) has confirmed plans
to produce a sequel to 2014’s critically-acclaimed
breakout hit “JOHN WICK,” it was announced today by Rob Friedman and
Patrick Wachsberger, Co-Chairmen of the Theatrical Motion Pictures
Group. Keanu Reeves along with directors David Leitch and Chad
Stahelski as well as screenwriter, Derek Kolstad are set
to return for the sequel. The film will be released through Lionsgate’s
Summit Entertainment and will be produced by Thunder Road’s Basil
Iwanyk, who produced the first film.
In the follow up to last year’s adrenaline-fueled revenge and redemption thriller, legendary hit man John Wick is back.
“With
such tremendous fan and critical support for ‘John Wick,’ we knew that
there was still so much more of this story to
tell,” said Jason Constantine, President of Acquisitions and
Co-Productions. “We are thrilled that Keanu, David and Chad have
re-teamed with us and promise to bring audiences even more excitement
the second time around.”
Jason Constantine and Eda Kowan at Lionsgate will oversee the project on behalf of the studio.
Lionsgate International will be selling the picture internationally at the upcoming Cannes Film Market.
