At the same time, producer Basil Iwanyk was developing films for Warner Bros. Pictures through his studio Thunder Road Films. Iwanyk was frustrated at not being involved beyond sourcing scripts; he wanted the autonomy to develop independent films so he could be more involved in the process. [41] He focused on action films that could be made on relatively low budgets. [42] Iwanyk read Kolstad's spec script, appreciating its subversive tone and emotional throughline, as well as the relatability and accessibility of a man seeking revenge after losing his wife, his dog, and his car; and his home being violated. [33] [42] Several studios were interested in the spec script and could offer Kolstad more money than Iwanyk. [42] As John rests, a hitwoman, Ms. Perkins, sneaks into his room. Marcus sees Perkins from an adjacent building and fires a warning shot to alert John, who wakes up and subdues her. Perkins reveals Viggo has doubled the bounty for her to kill John in the hotel and has concealed a high-value stash in a church. John hires another hitman, Harry, to secure Perkins but she kills Harry and escapes. Jones, Nate (December 7, 2021).

Filming concluded on December 20, 2013, after nine weeks. [129] The directors described it as a difficult learning experience that included many mistakes, and stretched the limits of the budget and schedule, but they achieved their goal. [78] Kolstad lamented the loss of his favorite scene due to scheduling, in which two men at Aurelio's garage see John's car being driven in, recognize it, and immediately leave the premises. [130] Post-production [ edit ] Winston has Perkins executed for breaking the Continental's rules, then informs John that Viggo is preparing to leave the city by helicopter. John races to New York Harbor, where he fights and mortally wounds Viggo. John, resigned to dying from his injuries, watches on his phone a video of Helen telling him they need to go home. He breaks into a nearby animal clinic, treats his wounds, and adopts a pit bull puppy scheduled to be euthanized before beginning to walk home. Timkang, Marijim Dy (March 24, 2023).

When we finished the first one, we thought we’d never work again,” Stahelski said. “We were looking for day jobs. Then when we were asked to do the second one, that’s when we put the thinking caps on. We did what we wanted to and what we had in mind for the first movie. It wasn’t until developing the second film that all the thought really went into it.” Mancuso, Vinnie (July 16, 2019).

[f] Reeves said they impressed him with their intent to make each character memorable and thoughts on the theme of living a double life. [33] In May, Reeves was confirmed for the lead role, and Stahelski and Leitch were to direct it. [46] [47] [52] Bombshell' Tops Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards".

Halle Berry as Sofia Al-Azwar, an ex-assassin, a former friend of John, and the manager of the Continental Hotel in Casablanca Stahelski and Leitch emphasized loss and humanity as fundamental aspects of John, wanting to avoid making him a cliché "badass" assassin. They had Reeves grow his hair and beard, and dressed him in stylish suits to create recognizable visual elements. [68] Reeves undertook four months of training, including several hours per day in a gym, strict diet, and stretches, and learned choreography. [h] Although he had previous martial arts experience, the directors wanted to create a style fitting for John, and had Reeves train in judo, Japanese jujutsu, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and arnis, as well as undergoing tactical-gun training with the Los Angeles SWAT and Navy SEALs. [i] He also learned stunt driving skills, including how to drift a car while aiming a gun. [68] [73] Schedeen, Jesse; Fowler, Matt (November 11, 2022). "The 15 Best Keanu Reeves Movies". IGN.
