Director Emerald Fennell, who won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for “Beautiful Vengeance”, will write “Ballerina”, the “John Wick” spin-off. The news was made by actress Ana de Armas, who will also act and produce the film.
Speaking to the magazine, the “No Time To Die” actress said she was “intimately involved in the search for the screenwriter.” “It was really important for me to hire a writer, because up until that point when I was involved in the project, it was just the director, Len Wiseman, and one other guy,” Armas commented on the absence of women on the project. “And I was like, ‘It’s not going to work.’ So I interviewed, like, five or six writers. We hired Emerald Fennell, which I’m really proud of. “
“Parabellum” co-writer Shay Hatten was “the other guy” who wrote the original plot for the spin-off before Fennell arrived. Len Wiseman, who launched the “Underworld” franchise in 2003, continues to direct, as well as direct “Die Hard 4.0” (2007) and the remake of “The Total Recall” (2010).
The premise of the long part of an element only seen at a glance in “John Wick 3: Parabellum”, released this year. When Keanu Reeves’ character visits the Director (Anjelica Huston), the scene reveals girls being trained in martial arts and ballet. One of these lethal killers will anchor the “Ballerina” storyline – yes, it’s also the premise of Marvel’s Black Widows and various anime.
The production is also responsible for director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves, who is responsible for the success of the main saga.
At the same time, the Lionsgate studio is preparing a fourth “John Wick” film for 2023 and a series focusing on the Continental Hotel, another important element of the character’s universe.
