The upcoming documentary Wick is Pain, set to release digitally on May 9. IGN has the exclusive trailer, showcasing interviews with Reeves, director Chad Stahelski, and other cast and crew from the franchise. Directed by Jeffrey Doe, the documentary features never-before-seen footage captured over a decade, revealing the challenges faced during the production of the original John Wick film in 2014.
Keanu Reeves declares:
“When we say John Wick is pain, it’s kind of like a ‘fuck yeah,’”
Stahelski recalls the panic surrounding the first movie's financial troubles:
“This is Keanu f****n’ Reeves. You do not wanna let him down.”
Producer David Leitch expressed urgency in securing funds, while Basil Iwanyk bluntly stated,
“We are doomed. We are completely fucked.”
The film’s salvation came from actress Eva Longoria, who invested $6 million to keep production afloat. Despite these hurdles, John Wick has evolved into a billion-dollar franchise.
Fans can also look forward to upcoming projects like Ballerina, John Wick 5, and an anime prequel film.
