Despite the blended response to The Continental, Lionsgate is going full speed in advance ona new John Wick TV series
Simply a couple of weeks after among the stars of the John Wick franchise business, Ian McShane, tore Lionsgate’s TV spin-off The Continental survive TV, the workshop appears like it’s going full speed in advance on a John Wick TV program. According to Due Date, Lionsgate vice chairman Michael Burns claimed as much throughout a Q&A at the Morgan Stanley media seminar. “I think we’ll take one of our great action franchises starring Keanu Reeves, I think it’ll be a television series,” claimed Burns, that additionally exposed that the workshop is preparation a Twilight computer animated series also.
Visitors will certainly keep in mind an additional John Wick tv series, The Continental, going down simply a couple of months earlier. According to Burns, the new Wick reveal will certainly not be associated with that series of 3 90-minute telefilms, which had to do with the very early journeys of the personality played by Ian McShane in the appropriate John Wick flicks, Winston. The series had not been extremely well obtained by followers (although obviously it was preferred on Peacock), neither by McShane himself, that lately whined regarding it throughout a meeting with BBC, stating, “they never asked anybody about it. They just went and did it. Just went and did it. Somebody asked Keanu and me about it. We both went, ‘I don’t know. Nobody ever asked us about it.’”
No information yet on whether any individual included with the John Wick movies, such as supervisor Chad Stahelski will certainly be associated with a hands-on ability. The workshop appears hellbent on broadening the John Wick series right into a significant franchise business. They lately bumped the Ana de Armas spin-off, Ballerina, to 2025 after Stahelski was employed for added capturing. As McShane himself clarified, “we did it about a year ago. And they’ve looked at it and Chad’s come in. And they wanna make it better cause they have to protect [the franchise].”
Something worth keeping in mind is just how seldom TV adjustments of big-screen activity residential properties have a tendency to function. Simply lately, TV spin-offs for Taken and The Carrier laid an egg. Without a solid facility, followers have a tendency to pertain to small-screen duplicates as little bit greater than rip-offs.
Is Lionsgate production a blunder attempting to develop out the John Wick cosmos, or should they simply allow Stahelski do his point and maintain it restricted to flicks? Allow us recognize in the remarks.
