The Le Continental series expands the John Wick franchise, launched in 2014. Two of Pour AlloCiné’s producers, Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, return to this unexpected success.
Here’s the story, did you know that John Wick marks the debut of a great adventure? In four cases, the saga rejoins the caste of billionaire franchisees. His book is the fourth opus in a collection worth more than $428 million worldwide.
Not only was it the first film to open the imagination to limitless possibilities, but it also revived the career of its star, Keanu Reeves. Thanks to this role, the actor once and for all receives the title of an irreplaceable character.
The success is that the John Wick saga is limited to Keanu Reeves and cinema. After September 22, the Prime Video platform launched a new series, Le Continental, which chronicles the early years of the character Winston and the development of this crime film.
The Irony of Fate? If the John Wick franchise is definitely worth it, you don’t need the first film. We are so enjoying Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, the two historical producers of the saga, also from the Le Continental series. “Once our plane finished the film, the studios didn’t want to continue. Thinking about it, I wish I could go online all the time.”, recalls Vasily Ivanik.
Inflatable suit: “We still have the impression that we are indies, outsiders, under the radar. We have to put in more effort than others. It is the work ethic, creative and physical nature that allows us to continue” As you can see, as surprising as it may be in the first place, John Wick is not a traditional blockbuster.
The budget of the first film, created by David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, is $20 million. A more modest amount for an action movie. At the end of its operational life, this figure will exceed four times – $86 million. Four chapters relate to this superhero movie.
I don’t think I’ll publish five or six hours of John Wick without Keanu Reeves.
“Lorsqu’on reçoit un scénario et qui’onlit le première la page, il ya toujours check en nous qui se dit: “Does this film change my life?” And let’s change our waysadmet Vasily Ivanik. The fact that this is also a good concern is that criticism and the public pass by our attention and continue to pass by.“
The secret of this success lies in the team spirit. Here’s how Erica Lee analyzes it: “Basil, Keanu, Chad Stahelski and my memes, we are visiting the Prime Minister. I think it’s rare for a group to remain intact in court. I specifically chose this“

The new Continental series is not intended to capture the spirit of the films in the same way. “I don’t think there’s a public five or six hours of John Wick without Keanu Reeves“- assesses Vasily Ivanik. The spin-off will see the former producer inspired by the Star Wars formula. Quote The Mandalorian and Andor. Idea: read the plot of the saga to tell new stories with different heroes and characters.
The three-part series is not the debut of a new era of the saga. The new film “Ballerina” will be released in June 2024. Toujours without Keanu Reeves, more with Ana de Armas – who became the real son of a potential heroine who stuck to 25-year-old James Bond Murir, who could be a waiter.
The story revolves around the adventures of a killer known as the Killer among the murderers of his family. Declamation of revenge, toujours, mais au feminin dans l’espoir d’aller chercher un nouveau public. Fans of the franchise won’t be surprised.
The proposal was considered by Thomas Desroches in London on 20 September.
Continental is available on Prime Video.
