Keanu Reeves takes center stage in a fresh documentary that delves into the struggles and successes of the creation of the John Wick series. Excitingly, if you’re eager to see ‘Wick is Pain’, you should know it will be released shortly – and you can even pre-order it now!

Four films, a prequel series titled The Continental, and an upcoming spinoff called Ballerina have cemented John Wick as a surefire blockbuster hit, making it difficult to envision a time when this franchise wasn’t a box office success. What makes this achievement all the more remarkable is its daring debut that defied an unspoken Hollywood convention by killing a puppy.

The film might have failed or been dismissed as just a direct-to-video revenge flick for revenge. However, it resonated deeply instead. A film that started out as a sleek, genre production soon morphed into one of the most cherished and impactful action movie series of the last ten years.

Hey there! As a gamer, I’m sharing some insights about the journey behind the scenes of John Wick, a game that almost didn’t happen. Director Chad Stahelski, along with a team of dedicated creators, recently gathered to talk about the genesis of this hit, its meteoric rise to success, and the close calls it had before gracing our screens.

In his own words, Jackson Spidell, Keanu Reeves’ stunt double, remarks that when the pain Keanu experiences on-screen appears genuine, it is likely that it truly is.

Pain” tells the remarkable true tale that inspired the John Wick movie series, featuring Keanu Reeves in the lead role.

Come along with Keanu Reeves, Chad Stahelski (the director), and the entire John Wick film team as they reveal the untold story of how a billion-dollar franchise nearly didn’t come to life.

Regarding the latest documentary, Reeves expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “It’s a delight to collaborate in revealing the incredible process that went into creating the John Wick movie series for our devoted audience.

Stahelski shared that we initially conceived a modest, self-produced film concept. Amazingly, reflecting on it over a decade later, it’s almost unbelievable what developed from this simple idea.
