Despite the seemingly finality of the top of ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’, studio Lionsgate would dearly wish to mine extra from the profitable franchise.
For now, although, it’ll need to accept the cinematic spin-off ‘Ballerina’ (starring Ana de Armas and due in theaters on June seventh subsequent 12 months) and three-part “event” TV collection ‘The Continental: From the World of John Wick’, which has a brand new trailer on-line.

What’s the story of ‘The Continental’?

The present goals to discover the origin behind the enduring hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the ‘John Wick’ universe by means of the eyes and actions of a younger Winston Scott (performed within the films by Ian McShane and right here as a youthful man by Colin Woodell), as he’s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City to face a previous he thought he’d left behind.
Winston charts a lethal course by means of the resort’s mysterious underworld in a harrowing try and seize the resort the place he’ll ultimately take his future throne.
And from the seems of this, we all know his household might be in deadly hazard from Mel Gibson’s legal kingpin.
Star Woodell stated this to Empire concerning the narrative and the way his Winston is completely different from McShane’s:
“It’s a story of revenge and making amends for what I think is taken from my character, and that’s my love and my family. I love Ian’s embellishment of the character, and how delicious everything is. To some degree we begin to get there at the end of ‘The Continental’ and you understand what motivates him, but I didn’t get to really participate in that deliciousness.”

Here’s what director Albert Hughes (who made the primary and third installments) needed to say concerning the restricted collection:
“Everyone loves escapism in cinema. As a filmmaker I wanted to honor the spirit of escapism and excitement from the film series while introducing new fans to a hyper-stylized world they’ve never seen before. Together, executive producer/writer Kirk Ward and I had several goals –– to explore the backstories of familiar ‘Wick’ characters, introduce new and exciting ones, dig deeper into the rules and mythology while expanding the physical scope of The Continental, showing fans areas of the iconic hotel they’ve never seen before. Kirk and I had the time of our lives creating this impressionistic spin on New York in the 70s. Even the soundtrack became a character in itself and reflects all that is American culture; a tapestry of distinct identities and experiences pieced together to create something truly unique.”
Where and when can I see ‘The Continental: From the World of John Wick’?
