Collider reports that Reeves may be set for his sophomore directing effort. The project also happens to be based on a comic book of his own creation titled Brzrkr. This comic was realized with great success from a Kickstarter campaign and was able to be published in 2021. It had garnered positive reactions from both critics and comic fans. The series sported an epic, cinematic tale featuring a warrior bearing Reeves’ likeness, fighting his way through different eras in history. It’s like John Wick meets Ted Theodore Logan.
Netflix had announced that they would be adapting Brzrkr into both a feature film and an animated series. There are currently no details on the animated series, but the movie already has some activity as screenwriter, Matt Tomlin, has already completed a script. Reeves hasn’t yet decided if he will be directing it, but he is considering this option if he likes the script.

Hey, Movie fans. We know what you're here for and we're here to give it to you. A couple of big, wide release movies are indeed hitting theaters this week, May 17, 2019. Two of them appear to be dramas while the other one is surely a hit action flick, and that's the one I'll be going to see in particular. The first movie that's set to hit theaters in wide release on May 17, 2019 is: "A Dog's Journey." It's listed as being a family movie. It's also a drama too. So, we'll call it a Family drama flick. It's rated PG. It stars: Josh Gad, Dennis Quaid, Marg Helgenberger, Betty Gilpin, Kathryn Prescott, and Henry Lau. It's actually a sequel to the original 2017 film titled, "A Dog's purpose." The plot summary for "A Dog's Journey" reads like this: "The soulful story of one devoted dog who finds the meaning of his own...

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is a gunsmoke hazy, bloody-knuckle ruthless, impossibly badass Wickian continuation. Every offered and foreseeable ass is proficiently kicked. Or karate chopped. Or headshot combo’d. Or shotgun blasted into oblivion. Or attack dog mauled. Or body-slammed through glass. Or swordplay carved. Or pulverized. Or…you catch my drift. Director Chad Stahelski and writer Derek Kolstad are three films into their action spectacle franchise, and each has raised the last’s ante. More of the same? Yeah, I’m thinking John’s back…again.
John Wick (Keanu Reeves) finds himself “Excommunicado” on the streets of New York City after killing Santino D’Antonio on Continental grounds. All card-holding rights revoked, blacklisted by Continental employees, and $14 million placed on his head. Can someone with Wick’s assassination skills survive against waves of contract killers hungry for his bounty? Especially while still recovering from his John Wick: Chapter 2 injuries?...

Forget The Expendables. The team you want to be on is the one in which Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Scott Adkins, and more are throwing high-flying fisticuffs. That is certainly the very amusing appeal of Triple Threat, a new VOD and limited release cinematic event that brings some of 21st century cinema’s best martial artists together for an action movie spectacle.
The film, which is directed by Jesse V. Johnson (a former stuntman on films like Thor and The Amazing Spider-Man) is about a group of mercenaries going head to head with a group of assassins. May the best roundhouse kick win. The synopsis is below:

"We find them, we kill them, no messin' about." Well Go USA has debuted a brief teaser trailer for the new action film Triple Threat, from stuntman-turned-director Jesse V. Johnson, who also has the film Savage Dogs being released this year.

Not that the plot matters much with this cast, but it's about a team of mercenaries who must take on a group of professional assassins and stop them before they kill an important woman.

Keanu Reeves is suiting up again for John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, which marks a deadly May release date.
John Wick: Chapter 3 was about as inevitable of an action sequel as inevitable action sequels get (which is pretty gosh darn inevitable). Off the back of the success of the Keanu Reeves-headlined surprise 2014 hit, John Wick, and its equally crimson-soaked sequel, John Wick: Chapter 2, and even a mooted spinoff television project in The Continental, plans quickly moved forward to get cameras rolling for the third film in the series in time for a May 2019 arrival.
The threequel brandishes the nifty title, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. For those of you who didn't take Latin, "parabellum" means "prepare for war." It's typically the second half of the saying, "Si vis pacem, para bellum," or "If you want peace, prepare for war." Fitting, no?

There is a thrilling selection of Chinese-language titles at Filmart this year. Liz Shackleton picks out some of the most promising.
With very few Hong Kong or mainland Chinese sellers making the journey to this year’s European Film Market in Berlin, Filmart offers a chance for buyers to catch up with the Chinese-language titles that will be rolled out in the region for the rest of the year.
After serving up the biggest film of the Chinese New Year holiday — Kung Fu Yoga, starring Jackie Chan and directed by Stanley Tong — China’s Sparkle Roll Media has launched a Hong Kong-based sales arm that is selling Ding Sheng’s reboot of the A Better Tomorrow series.
Other high-profile action titles new to market include Distribution Workshop’s Extraordinary Mission, from the creative teams behind the Infernal Affairs and Overheard series, and Huayi Brothers’ crime drama Explosion, starring Duan Yihong.

Everything you need to know about “Headshot,” an Indonesian bloodbath that stars the same actor from “The Raid” and feels like it was cut together from that film’s deleted footage, can be gleaned from an early fight scene aboard a public bus that’s just been shot to pieces by a gang of vicious criminals.
Our hero, an amnesiac ass-kicker named Ishmael (Iko Uwais), doesn’t remember that he used to be a member of the same syndicate that he’s now trying to kill, hops on board and promptly begins to snap ligaments and gouge eyeballs. Directors Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto make spectacular use of the confined area, and — as with all of the many, many death matches that are stretched across this saga — the sequence continues for so long that you forget how the characters actually got there.
So when Ishmael eventually tackles one of the...

Recently Joe Carnahan and Frank Grillo announced that they will be teaming up to produce an American remake of the hit Indonesian action film “The Raid,” and now the two have followed up that announcement with an interview with Collider. The two specifically spoke about how their project will be more of a reimagining of the source material, and will make significant changes to the story and style to the original film. All of these changes have the approval of the original film’s director, Gareth Evans, who is producing the film, and told Carnahan and Grillo after extensively discussing their project: “Go make your version. I want to see your version.”

Upon its release, “John Wick” became a critical and commercial success, earning $78 million worldwide. Its sequel, “John Wick: Chapter 2,” to be released in theaters this February, sees the return of Keanu Reeves as the legendary hitman and promises to be an even bigger adventure.
As Mr. Wick’s story continues forward, director Chad Stahelski and screenwriter Derek Kolstad have already explored the character’s backstory and life before the first film. The duo have even written bits of a prequel to possibly make it into a TV series.

The 1986 fantasy film “Highlander” is getting the Hollywood reboot treatment with “John Wick’s” Chad Stahelski set to direct for Lionsgate.
The remake has been in the works since 2008 and previously had Justin Lin, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and Cedric Nicolas-Troyan attached to direct, with Stahelski now officially taking the lead.
“I’ve been a huge fan of the original property since I saw it in high school,” Stahelski told The Hollywood Reporter, who reported the news first. “Such great themes of immortality, love, and identity are all wrapped up in such colorful mythology. I can’t think of a better property that gives the opportunity to create interesting characters, mythic themes and action set pieces.”
The film will be produced by Neal H. Moritz and Peter Davis. The studio is currently looking for a writer to pen the script.

Escapist entertainment is suddenly at least three times as important as it was a few days ago. So, it’s comforting to hear that Chad Stahelski (John Wick) will direct all the high-octane action for three of Asia’s biggest stars for an as-yet-untitled project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Thailand’s Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior), China’s Tiger Hu Chen (Man Of Tai Chi), and Indonesia’s Iko Uwais (The Raid: Redemption) have all signed on for the Kungfuman Culture Media and Hamilton Entertainment production.
Scripted by Dwayne Smith, and co-directed by Stahelski and Wang Xiaolie, Triple Threat will follow the experiences of a Chinese martial artist who travels into Mexico to save his ex-wife and their son from a drug cartel. This should not be confused with Gary Mak’s planned Makeshift Squad, a sort of Asian Expendables which also stars Jaa, Chen, and Uwais. Or...

Tony Jaa (Ong Bak), Tiger Chen (Man of Taichi) and Iko Uwais (The Raid) has signed up to work on a new movie written by Dwayne Smith.
‘Triple Threat’ tells a story of a “Chinese martial artist who goes to Mexico to rescue his ex-wife and their son after they are kidnapped by a drug cartel.” Details about the movie is scant, but with a deadly trio and a storyline like that, we know it will be mind blowing!
The movie will be directed by Wang Xiaolie and produced by Kungfuman Culture Media and Hamilton Entertainment. Earlier reports of Chad Stahelski (John Wick franchise) co-directing the film appears to be incorrect, with Stahelski publicist saying that the action director will only be assisting with the film’s action design.
‘Triple Threat’ is currently being presented by Arclight Films to industry buyers at the American Film Market 2016 conferences in Santa Monica.

If you're a fan of kick-ass martial arts movies, you already know who those three actors are in the headline. But in case you aren't, and maybe you're just curious about what John Wick co-director (and John Wick: Chapter 2 solo director) Chad Stahelski might be up to next, allow me to introduce you to three of the baddest mofos on the planet. Before we get to the intros, let's get to the good stuff: THR reports that these guys will be joining forces in a movie called Triple Threat. The script, written by Dwayne Smith, "revolves around a Chinese martial artist who goes to Mexico to rescue his ex-wife and their son after they are kidnapped by a drug cartel." Wang Xiaolie is set to co-direct the movie with Stahelski.

But I never got a chance to talk about my love of Tony Jaa (of Ong Bak fame) or Tiger Chen (star of the Keanu Reeves-directed Man Of Tai Chi) yet. Now's my chance!

After orchestrating one of the most refreshing action movies in years, John Wick co-directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch largely went their separate ways. Rather than shepherd the 2017 sequel, the latter made tracks to The Coldest City, the Charlize Theron-fronted thriller that’s booked in for late next year. He’s also cropped up in conversation for the vacant Deadpool 2 gig, if reports are to be believed.
Stahelski, on the other hand, is busy putting the final touches to John Wick: Chapter 2 ahead of its planned release in February, but The Hollywood Reporter brings word today of a new project that is just as exciting as the Keanu Reeves-led sequel.
It’s called Triple Threat, and has already enlisted a formidable trio of action stalwarts: Tony Jaa (Ong Bak), Tiger Chen (Man of Taichi) and Iko Uwais (The Raid). News hails from this year’s American Film Market,...

The surprise success of “John Wick” certainly kicked open career doors for stunt coordinators turned directors, David Leitch and Chad Stahelski. While the latter is sticking with the franchise, helming the upcoming “John Wick: Chapter 2,” the former has used the heat he’s attained to direct the upcoming espionage flick, “The Coldest City.” But next for Stahelski is his first outing beyond “John Wick” with an action movie starring three big names in the martial arts world.

While they’ve been involved with filmmaking since the early 1990s, Chad Stahelski and David Leitch ushered in a refreshing burst of comprehensible action seemingly missing from today’s landscape with John Wick. Since then, the former has gone on to shoot the sequel while the latter has the Charlize Theron-led The Coldest City, coming next summer. Now, with rumors swirling that Leitch may take over Deadpool 2, Stahelski has quite the incredible-sounding project lined up himself.

When most of us hear the words “triple threat,” we of course think of professional wrestling. Who among us can say we don’t fondly recall all three members of the Shield finally doing battle this summer, for instance, or WrestleMania 30’s main event between Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton and Batista? It should thus come as no small disappointment to learn that the upcoming film “Triple Threat” does not take placed in the squared circle, but fret not, dear marks: It does at least have a fine cast.

The world of underground fighting is given the cinematic treatment yet again in Keanu Reeves’ directorial debut, Man of Tai Chi. Set in Beijing, the movie follows the exploits of a kind if slightly misguided young man named Tiger Chen Linhu (Tiger Chen), who works as a postal delivery man by day and practices Tai Chi with his master Yang (Yu Hai) during his time off. Tiger has been seduced by the controversial idea of demonstrating that Tai Chi can be used for pure combat, prompting him to enter a legitimate martial arts tournament. His unexpectedly impressive skills catch the eye of one Donaka Mark (Keanu Reeves), the multimillionaire owner of a security company who also organizes illegal fighting matches for the pleasure of a high paying, exclusive public.

Keanu Reeves just turned 50, and he's still kicking butt on the big screen.
Reeves broke out in the late '80s as the now iconic Ted Theodore Logan in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989) before "Point Break" (1991) and "Speed" (1994) made the actor a bonafide action star -- and that was all before he became Neo in "The Matrix" trilogy. In the past few years, Reeves has also found success behind the camera, directing the martial arts film "Man of Tai Chi" (2013), while still holding onto his indie roots. This fall, Reeves is back playing a legendary hitman out for revenge in the blood action film "John Wick."
From hanging out with the Red Hot Chili Peppers to his days as K.C. Reeves, here are 33 things you probably don't know about Keanu Reeves.
1. Keanu Reeves was born September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon to Patricia Taylor and Samuel Nowlin Reeves Jr.
