Movie Rule #28: Never directly reference a movie that is superior to the one we are watching. Dev Patel’s disappointing directorial debut Monkey Man breaks this rule in a very distracting way. In an early scene, the film’s unnamed hero, known only as “Kid” (played by Patel himself), talks his way into the showroom of a black market arms dealer. “You like John Wick?” the salesman smirks as he shows off a handgun like the one Keanu Reeves wields onscreen. Most viewers could have made the comparison to John Wick themselves without the explicit shoutout. Both Wick and Monkey Man are bloody action ...

After endless attempts and failures and false starts, a new version of the cult classic ’90s goth superhero movie actually has a release date — and it’s coming soon. The film will open in theaters this summer. That is the good news. The bad news is the film is actually taking over the previous release date of Ballerina, the first film spinoff in the John Wick universe. That movie stars Ana de Armas, and it was supposed to...

Albert Hughes "doesn't want to disrespect" anyone with the new 'John Wick' series. The 51-year-old director is at the helm of 'The Continental: From the World of John Wick' - which serves as a spin-off to the action movie series - and insisted that he never wanted to "copy" the films in the franchise as he insisted that was not what he was hired for in the first place.

There are plenty of no-talent directors that, if they wanted to push around, they could do that. The truth is...

‘John Wick 5’ could already be in the pipeline. The fourth installment of the Keanu Reeves hitman franchise just into its cinema run, but Lionsgate Motion Picture Group president Joe Drake says the “will” and “openness” is there to make a follow-up – after a “tiny rest”. Despite Reeves’ eponymous assassin apparently meeting his demise at the end of ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’, Drake told The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility for another installment: “There’s a will and there’s an openness. And you could certainly interpret that ending in different ways. “We’re all going to take a tiny rest h...
