Through four films, Johnon Wick has killed nearly 500 peopleWounded countless others and left a mark of absolute destruction around the world. While he mostly sent his enemies using his fiercely efficient style of fighting gun-FunThe Keanu Reeves assassin also imposed opponents in various ingenious ways, including neck pencils and facial books. From "Johnon Wick" in 2014 to 2023 "Wilon Wick: Chapter 4", we saw that Hitman lay waste of thugs using every form of weapons and using every kind of physical struggle. And to think, if Losf Tarasov (Alfie Allen) had just left that poor puppy, none of this would happen.

As every fan will know, Johnon Wick went on his murderous rampage, simply because the Russian head of crime killed his puppy Big, Daisy. That puppy happened to a retired killer from his late wife, Helen (Bridget Moynahan), who returned to Johnon Wick, recently died of a terminal disease. The introductory moments of that film see Johnon receiving the puppy and ties to the little one, before Losf breaks into his home and lowering the poor coup. This incident was caused by an Odyssey filled with the massacre we now know as quadrilology "Johnon Wick"-But it was not the first time one of Reeves' characters has received a furry little friend from terminally badly Love -bodian interest.

After Kianu Reeves replaces Brad Pitt in "Devil's Lawyer", He starred along with Charlize Theron in that Superborn Horror in 1997, marking the first time the two stars shared the screen. Reeves played a defense lawyer, Kevin Lomax and Theron playing his wife, Mary Ann Lomax. The couple retired in 2001 for a romantic drama "Sweet November", in which they once again had a romantic intertwining. But this time there was nothing supernatural about their Love -Board.

Directed by O'Connor, "Sweet November" is followed by San Francisco -based CEO Nelson Moss (Reeves), who meets Sarah Dever (Theron) during his driving test and causes her to fail because of talking during the written part. Despite this awkward first encounter, and the fact that he is a corporate spike and she is a free spiritual brother -in -law, Nelson and Sarah are attracted to each other. Sarah offers to "help" Nelson by moving with her for a month, after which they will be separated. In the end, Nelson agrees, and in the first night of November, he moved. As you can expect that the pair is in the shouting and everything comes out pink. Except - and this is a great spoiler in case you plan to watch "sweet November" - it turns out that Sarah has a terminal cancer.

However, before their Loveub's bloom, Nelson finds a package on his door with the word "November" written at the top. He opens him to find a puppy, which he returns to Sarah, forcing the couple to connect and set up the Loveback affair - ending when Sarah leaves a newly reformed Nelson to spend the last days with his family. Despite the plot parallels, it seems that co-directors "Johnon Wick", Chad Stahelski and David Leic were unaware of the previous drama of Reeves' puppies.

Hollywood reporterBrian David was the first man to make this link between "Sweet November" and "Johnon Wick". In an interview with Charlize Theron, the writer revealed that he had told Chad Stahelski and Dave Leic for the dog in "Sweet November" and as the character of the actress "Terminally Sick November" sent a dog to Kinu 13 years before the terminally ill woman. According to David, Stahelski learned about it as soon as he made his debut "Johnon Wick", and Leic had no idea of the parallel between his film and the romantic drama of Keanu Reeves in the early 2000s. Meanwhile, Theron was having fun when he heard about it, saying, "You are obviously a lobby of the film because not many people would know that."

When Davids previously told Leic about the parallel between the two films during 2024 Thr Interview, the director claims that he "never linked those points". In A special interviewDavids also talked about it with Stahelski, who said: "I didn't know enough, I didn't know at the time. After" Johnon Wick "came out, I read something about it, and I was like," Really? How didn't I know it? "So maybe we'll go for three.

Unfortunately, the "sweet November" was not a surprised hit that proved to be "Johnon Wick". The film made just $ 65.7 million with a $ 40 million budget, with a poor score of 15% critic of Roten Tomatoes. But who cares whether Johnon Anderson of Newsday has called the movie "Stupid enough to make" the wedding planner "looks like an Ingmar Bergman movie" if he can claim to be the first time Keanu Reeves's character has received a dog from a terminally bad love interest?

Reeves and Theron may not have appeared together since that bad Roma-com in 2001, but that was not the end of their collaborations. During the production of "atomic blonde", the actress found herself training at the same airport hanger as Reeves, while he trained for "Johnon Vick: Chapter 2." The two even finished sparring together, Which is right only given that she was his original Helen Wick.
