F**king relax, we’re having fun, you can’t call the logic police on me. I get it, it’s surreal, he kills all these guys over a puppy, and there’s fealty, and high tables, and he’s walking in the desert in a suit, and he rides horses… we get the wackiness. The whole concept behind John Wick when David and I started was to make smart, pretty action. Very few people have tied visuals to a human experience. A dolly shot with Tarkovsky means something more than just moving a camera, it has nothing to do with kinetic energy. I spent ten, twelve years with them, over the course of five, six films. And I come from the Wachowskis’ school of filmmaking.
Every shot with Tarkovsky means something. We have similar aesthetics for sure.įor me, it’s the depth. What is it about Tarkovsky that speaks to you and David?ĭave and I have been friends and partners for twenty years. Yahoo Movies UK: So, John Wick 3 has the Tarkovsky theatre and Atomic Blonde has the Stalker fight scene…Ĭhad Stahelski: Oh, you picked all that up. Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski (Ian West/PA) It makes for a very interesting, and open, read.
We sat down with Stahelski to discuss the making of the movie, discussing everything from how the editing style improves the action, to what it was like to work with Billions’ Asia Kate Dillon, to revealing how intensely involved Keanu Reeves is with the franchise. Until then, we have the stunning John Wick 3 to keep us going. So, exciting times for Matrix fans – now all we need is official confirmation from Warner Brothers, and we’ll log back into being excited about the idea of a fourth Matrix movie.

“I’m not sure if Lana is.”īut they’re involved? “Yeah. “I’m not sure of the overall,” Stahelski replied. Surprised, we followed up by asking if the Wachowskis were directing the new film. “And if it’s anywhere near the level of what they’ve already done, it wouldn’t take more than a call to go, ‘Hey, we want you to be a stunt guy’ and I would probably go and get hit by a car.” “I’m super happy that the Wachowskis are not just doing a Matrix, but they’re expanding what we all loved,” Stahelski told Yahoo Movies UK. That’s according to John Wick 3 director Chad Stahelski, who worked on the original trilogy.
