Keanu Reeves & Chad Stahelski on John Wick: Chapter 4 Stunts and THAT Staircase Scene
26,084
Published 2023-03-24
A few nights ago, Collider and IMAX teamed up for an early screening of the sequel in Los Angeles and after the film ended, I sat down with Reeves and Stahelski. During the wide-ranging interview, they discussed what the hardest stunts were to film in the franchise, how they filmed the incredible oner in the Parisian building where Reeves is walking around with the dragon’s breath shotgun with the camera above him, the challenges of filming at the Arc de Triomphe with cars, that stair sequence at Sacré Coeur, and why all of the choreography went out the window during the first fight scene with Donnie Yen.
In addition, they explained why they always come up with the next sequel ideas while drinking whiskey at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, which of the films changed the most in the editing room, what went into the incredible Berlin club sequence with Scott Adkins in Chapter 4, how Reeves preps for his stunts, and so much more. If you’re a fan of this amazing franchise, then you’re going to learn a lot. While you can either read or watch the interview, I’m going to strongly recommend pushing play on the video for this one. In one part of the video, you’ll see Reeves walk around demonstrating something—and it’s just not the same as reading it.
Finally, due to how many movies are coming out this month and next, John Wick: Chapter 4 is only playing in IMAX theaters for one week. So, if you want to see the movie on the best screen possible, I’d make an effort to catch it this weekend or early next week.

John Wick: Loving Husband 😭
-
We need to talk about the nun chuck scenes Keanu did! Brilliant!
-
LOVE this era of Keanu Reeves, interviews and acting roles. It is like going back to OG era of films, when they were both serious and with comedic timing. With true raw comedy, not the MCU/Rick and Morty type of teethless quips.
-
I love how laid back the conception of the story is but how detailed and intense the results are (movie).
-
I love how Keanu and Chad loves making these movies up to this 4th one which is a masterpiece.Chad is a genius and Loved how much of a team player and dedicated member Keanu is,how animated he is describing his experience in making this 4th one and how he really is so humble admitting that he was slow to take on Donnie yen in their fight scene even if he memorized the choreography and all. I hope they don't get tired making these movies❤️

I felt like the abandoned building at the end of the film was like a haunted house and John (The Boogeyman) Wick is haunting it. Loved this film and adored this series
