Albert Hughes, who directed Episodes 1 and 3 of Peacock's John Wick prequel series The Continental, chats with us about the show.
Director Albert Hughes warned me ahead of the final episode of Peacock’s John Wick spinoff series The Continental -- by way of setting up the final all-out assault organized by a young Winston Scott the show had been building up to -- that things were about to get pretty hairy. “Balls-to-the-wall, bat-s**t crazy,” were, in fact, his exact words. If you haven’t yet caught up to the finale of The Continental that dropped on Friday, spoiler alert: The man wasn’t kidding.
What I especially wanted to hear from Hughes, meanwhile, is: Why a prequel at all? Why a focus on Winston Scott? And why center everything around the hotel-for-killers, given that the character of John Wick himself as played by Keanu is, of course, roughly 99% of the reason why fans loved the movies in the first place? “The first script had already been done when it came to me,” Hughes said during our conversation.
