Director Chad Stahelski talks about his rise, how he pulled off the incredible sequences in 'John Wick 4,' and whether this is the end of the line for our hero
Keanu’s someone who’s been criticized for his acting ability in the past, which I’ve always thought was ridiculous and overlooked what Keanu does and how compelling he is. What do you think makes Keanu so compellingAs a fan, why I enjoy watching him is this duality he has. He’ll play the badass, the goof, or whatever it is, and you like him.
I think everyone after seeing the Arc de Triomphe sequence is like, “How the hell did they pull that off?” We always knew we were going to go full Buster Keaton in the third act with the staircase sequence where it’s a metaphor for the whole movie — you climb to the top and get thrown back down, and we wanted that to be where him and Caine work together — and we knew we had the Arc, and we wanted to do a one, two, three. We got three days into the apartment-fight choreography sequence before we started shooting, and I’m like, “Ah, I’ve seen all this, this is boring.
Yeah. We ran in the same circles. There are a group of us from the Inosanto Academy who trained together and we all wanted to be stuntmen, and Brandon was working on his acting career. It was a fun group of guys. To answer your question… I don’t know. Stunts were at a weird point in time where we were still trying to figure stuff out. Effects were just starting to come up where you could do wire removal and digital muzzle flashes.
