John Wick 3 Featurette
There’s a lot to love about theJohn Wickfranchise. Keanu Reeves wearing dope suits. Incredible action scenes shot in exciting, coherent ways. Dogs. But one of the most appealing features is the world building. Over the course of two (and soon to be three) films, theJohn Wickseries has created its own unique, alternate world where practically everyone in New York City is an assassin. When these hired guns need a break from all the bloodshed, they head to the Continental Hotel – a posh place where killing is forbidden, and everyone gets to sip drinks and glare at each other.
The Continental was introduced as a NY location inJohn Wick, and then inJohn Wick: Chapter 2we learned that there are multiple Continentals – located all over the world. According to franchise co-starIan McShanein the video above, we’re about to learn even more about The Continental inJohn Wick: Chapter 3. ProducerErica Leeaddss that little by little, each film has been showing more and more of the hotel.
The firstJohn Wickgave us a lobby and a few rooms. The second film gave us even more rooms, and a whole new location. And now,John Wick: Chapter 3will give us our fullest exploration of the world of the Continental yet. Not quite sue what that could mean – maybe we’ll finally get to see The Continental’s boiler room! Or it’s garbage chute!
No matter what the case, I’m sure of one thing: it will kick ass.
