Len Wiseman directs the cast of Ballerina, a John Wick spin-off.
The film stars Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, and Gabriel Byrne, with a strong supporting cast of Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane and Keanu Reeves.
Based on Characters by Derek Kolstad and written by Shay Hatten, the story takes place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. The film follows Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro at the beginning of her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.
What is the Ruska Roma?
The Ruska Roma is the largest known Russian Gypsies, a subgroup of the Romani people in Russia and Belarus, an Eastern European neighbor to Russia.
It’s also a fictional group in Wick’s movies, a powerful criminal organization in Germany. According to John Wick Fandom, it is one of the twelve organizations that holds a seat at the High Table.
Ballerina‘s release date is June 2025, with more information arriving soon.
Chad Stahelski directs Keanu Reeves as John Wick. They return in this third installment – Parabellum – of the non-stop action franchise about the super-assassin Wick. He’s Skyhook with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his heels. The movie trailer shows you precisely what is happening in the movie – just like the other two, but even more. It’s playing on Amazon.
After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin’s guild, the High Table, Wick is excommunicado, but the world’s most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn. The cast, including Halle Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Anjelica Huston, and Ian McShane, are extraordinary. I am so excited to see Huston in a movie.
The Taxi clip is a bit odd, and I am not sure what it promotes to the fans of this franchise. Like the trailer, we see a lot of rain in New York City.
The next poster is colorful in an ironic way – too carefree and effervescent. It looks like he is in the tropics when most of the footage I’ve seen is in New York City.
The featurette explains the story to us. I like it. Anjelica Houston is seen briefly, but I love that she is in the movie. I hope her part is more extensive than what appears in the featurette.
Keanu Reeves is hyped about the third installment of the unique action movie. In this interview, he is obviously passionate about his character, the director, the style, and the story.
I chose Mark Dacascos and Asia Kate Dillon’s joint interview because they share Reeves’ working style with the cast and crew. They describe the story so well; it is eight minutes long with so much information in general.
The next featurette shows some astounding moves with the motorcycle chase. Seeing Reeves get so excited about a scene in his movie is fantastic.
Film legend Anjelica Huston is on the red carpet at the movie premiere. She talks about her character and the culture of the movie.
The featurette shows Reeves and Berry training for the movie. Watching the footage, they got a great workout and had so much fun.
