“It’s not what you did, it’s who you did it to…” Lionsgate has announced that they will be re-releasing the action classic John Wick in theaters again soon. The OG, the one that started it all, the movie that changed everything! In celebration of the movie’s 10th anniversary, the original John Wick (#1!) will play in theaters again for two nights only – on November 3rd + November 6th. John Wick, the revolutionary first film of the iconic action franchise, roars into theaters again this fall. Fans attending the Fathom screenings will be treated to more from the mythic John Wick universe with a sneak peek at the upcoming Ballerina, which expands the world of Wick with the story of Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma. Keanu Reeves stars as a former hitman grieving the loss of his love. When his home is broken into, robbed, and his dog killed, he’s forced to return to action for revenge. Also with Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Bridget Moynahan, Dean Winters, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, and Willem Dafoe. The original still really is one of the best action movies.
Here’s the new trailer (+ poster) for the re-release of Chad Stahelski’s John Wick, direct from YouTube:
People keep asking if he’s back, and yeah–we’re thinking he is. John Wick tells the now-legendary story of the retired assassin’s (Keanu Reeves) quest for vengeance after thugs steal his car and then kill his puppy, triggering the furious reemergence of the world’s deadliest and most-feared hitman. John Wick solidified Keanu Reeves’ reputation as an action superstar while also beginning a mega successful franchise of three sequels and a prequel television series. The film also spawned popular video games and comic books. John Wick is directed by stuntman / action filmmaker Chad Stahelski, who made his feature directorial debut with this film after years of work as a stunt coordinator / fight choreographer in Hollywood. The screenplay is written by Derek Kolstad. Produced by Basil Iwanyk, David Leitch, Eva Longoria, Michael Witherill. The original John Wick first opened in theaters in October 2014 and it earned a modest $43M at the box office (there were also a few other re-releases after). Lionsgate will re-release this first movie in theaters against on November 3rd & 6th, 2024 this fall. For more info + tickets, visit Fathom Events’ website. Who’s in?
