After Keanu Reeves' killer seemingly killed at the end of "Johnon Wick: Chapter 4", he seems to be ready to return. "Johnon Vick 5" will bring Keanu back from the deadWith the studio Lionsgate interested in keeping the franchise's momentum after a few wrong steps of the spin-off, the latest is the "ballerina" starring Anna de Armas.

Unfortunately, Box office returns for "ballerina" seems to be the death penalty for the Johnon Wick UniverseWhat just seems to really wear a fuss when the man himself is in front of and center. With 76% Rotten tomatoes Result, A-Chinamascus and a title that makes no secret to the movie "From the World of Johnon Wick", "Ballerina" $ 109 million on a $ 90m budget. So why not? Well, the obvious answer is, again, because Johnon Wick was not the main attraction, and with the TV spin-off "Continental" also falling flat, it seems that the audience really wants to appear for Reeves' hit and not much more in this Burging Cinema.

However, if you asked Lionsgate's executions, however, I am sure they would have some ideas on why the "ballerina" is backed up, especially since the studio executions weigh with notes since the first "Johnon Wick" debuted in 2014. One proposal in the studio, in particular, remains a franchise point by director Chad Stahelski, who despite winning the films in 2014. and co-director David Leic's inaugural wick film.

The studio notes do not have the best reputation, and this is because many of those we hear, look good, funny. Think, for example, that Run to the dirty studio tried to cut the drum from Whiplash, The original "Johnon Wick" was not immune from such suggestions. It didn't help when the film was created in the early 2010, there was nothing to suggest that it would even make its budget, let alone a hit. Kianu Reeves was in a little lull of his career, and co-directors Chad Stahelski and David Leic made their directorial debut. Given this, the studio probably feels a little more prone to propose changes, but the notes seem to have not stopped after the first film, and it seems that Stahelski has never forgotten.

During the interview with Hollywood reporterHe was asked if there was any studio note that he was sorry for taking. "At a particular" Johnon Wick ", I had as ** to fight for literally three minutes," he said. "Most study, and even critics, have this strange job during running. Do you really give to ** k how long is the movie? The real question is: Are you bored? "In this case, the studio seems to have wanted to shave for some time since the latest reduction in the movie" Won Vick ", but that time seemed negligible at best. As Stahelski explained:

"They will say," There are metadata that says people get bored with something for two hours and 20 minutes. " No one will get out of the movie, "That movie is great, but it should have been a beautiful 2:36." Well, when they said, "You have to cut three minutes," I looked at them, "The audience gave him 90 in the test result!" "

It is unclear which film the director is talking about. If it was first, then the last duration of Johnon Wick is 101 minutes, and until Stahelski said he took three minutes, he was asked about the study notes he took, so the initial duration may have been closer to 104 minutes. What was exactly reduced is also not clear, but since the films have proven successful, it may not be so important.

Chad Stahelski is not a big fan of what he sees as an obsessive focus on duration between study and critics. In fact, he seems to have nothing but despise it, telling Thr:

"I sat down through a 90-minute movie that felt like four hours, and watched" Lawrence of Arabia "or" Seven Samurai "and felt like two hours even though they were four. No one was arguing and complained about the "king's return" and the reduction of Peter Acksexon is four hours, so, so ** k out. "

Ironically, the latest installment in the main films, "Johnon Wick: Chapter 4", could probably benefit from light editing. In the fourth installment, Stahelski and his team threw caution in the wind and created an ode to the Chinese struggle, showing the complex pieces that lasted much longer than anything else in the series-which given the franchise we are talking about is something. But AS /Movie Whitney Seibard wrote, "Johnon Wick: Chapter 4" is proof that action movie can have too much action. The last sequence, in particular, with Kianu Reeves' hit struggling through Paris, seems particularly asked to the point that Stahelski has managed to make some of the most inventive and miraculous activities still seen on the film, starting to look boring, even.

It is clear that Lionsgate did not mind asking Stahelski to reduce matters, as the director claims. The longer reduction of "Chapter 4" was "rough and boring in parts", suggesting that he was happy to have made several edits. But he probably had to follow that studio nota a decade ago a little closer and was a little more enthusiastic with cuts.
