John Wick director Chad Stahleski has slammed The Continental spin-off in an unflinching new interv💫🍃iew.

Speaking to , Stahleski – who has directed all four John Wick movies – addressed why he was more hands-off with the limited s🔯eries, which charted the rise of Winst♐on into his position as head of the New York hotel branch.

"Keanu [Reeves] and I were – I wouldn’t say sidelined, but our opinion was heard and not really noted. [The studio] tried to convince me they knew what they were doing," Stahleski said. "A group of individuals thജought they had the magic sauce."

The director, who served as executive producer on The Continental, took particul🦩ar offence at unnamed behind-the-scenes figures trying to turn John Wick into a formula.

"But if you take out Basil Iwanyk’s producing intuitiveness, if you take out Keanu’s way of delivering quirky dialogue and if you take out all the visuals I have in my head from Wong ༒Kar-wai, anime, Leone, Bernardo Bertucci or Andrei Tchaikovsky … then it’s not the same thing."

Stahleski added,♍ "They thought this was as easy as using anamorph🐭ic lenses, do a kooky hotel, put in weird dialogue, and insert crime drama."

The Continental received mixed reviews upon release, garnering a tepid 63% ratinꦛg on reviews aggre♕gator Rotten Tomatoes.

The new John Wick ♛spin-off, Ball🦩erina, appears to skew much closer to Stahleski's way of doing things.

Not only is he heavily involved, reports also stated he even directed parts of the actioner 🌳(original director Len Wiseman recently told , however, that health issues on his part necessitated Stahleski's involvement behind the camera). Keanu Reeves is back,ꦫ too, making an appearance in Ballerina, which is set between the events of John Wick 3 and John Wick 4.

Ballerina is now in theaters. For more, check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ballerina review and the rest of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies coming to cinemas in 2025.
