Keanu Reeves Takes More Hits in John Wick Documentary Than the Actual Movie—See Why

by

The “John Wick” series is set to have a documentary called “Pain is Wick“. This documentary, produced by director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves, will showcase unprecedented footage spanning over a decade, capturing both on-set and off-set moments. The film aims to delve into the franchise’s iconic stunt work while also revealing its transformation from a single movie into a sprawling multimedia empire.

ScreenRant is thrilled to share with you an initial glimpse of the poster for the upcoming movie, “Wick is Pain.” The poster showcases Keanu Reeves as the main character, John Wick, who appears battered and bruised in his signature style following numerous encounters with mercenaries and gangsters. Have a look at the artwork displayed below and prepare to witness how this popular action series unfolds when “Wick is Pain” arrives on digital platforms on May 9. To catch up before then, you can now stream all four “John Wick” films on a single platform.

Why John Wick Is Deserving Of Its Own Making-Of Documentary

In a sense, the John Wick films seem overdue for their behind-the-scenes documentation. Not every movie is suitable for an engaging making-of documentary, but the John Wick franchise has certainly earned one due to the sheer power of its action sequences. From Keanu Reeves’ numerous self-performed stunts to the spectacular performances by actors like Donnie Yen and Hiroyuki Sanada, the fight scenes in John Wick are brimming with impressive feats that would be equally captivating to watch outside the film’s narrative context.

The upcoming film, “Wick is Pain“, is set to delve deeper into the rich history of the John Wick franchise. Similar to its protagonist, the first John Wick movie faced numerous obstacles, including financial constraints and creative challenges. “Wick is Pain” will offer viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the struggles Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves, and their team endured to create the film that sparked this cinematic phenomenon. Additionally, it will explore how this success propelled them to expand the franchise in the ways they did.

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the arrival of “John Wick: Chapter 4” (Wick is Pain) at this pivotal moment for the John Wick series. The intricate universe crafted by Chad Stahelski has been expanding exponentially, and it’s all set to expand further with its first spinoff film, “Ballerina”, featuring Ana de Armas. With Keanu Reeves’ character, John Wick, and the overall franchise status remaining somewhat uncertain, “Wick is Pain” serves as a timely reminder of the series’ original essence while it still resonates so strongly.
