Interview: Keanu Reeves, Common & Ruby Rose Talk John Wick: Chapter 2!

The second I sat down with JOHN WICK, I was ready for another. And thankfully, JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 is in a class all its own. Keanu Reeves has never been better, and he continues to kick ass in this exhilerating and intense ride that rarely lets up. Director Chad Stahelski has done a marvelous job of continuing to bring this world to life. The set-pieces are incredible and the character itself is as cool as an anti-hero can get. In fact, he may be one of the coolest action heroes ever. If  you dug the first, you are going to dig this one a whole hell of a lot.

Recently at the junket for the film, we had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Reeves, Common, Ruby Rose and Mr. Stahelski. It's very clear that Keanu loves playing this character, and he discussed what it is about John Wick that appreciates. He talked about playing a vengeance driven man on a mission, one who doesn't alwasy come out looking too clean. And then there is THE MATRIX reunion. The actor also talked about working with his sci-fi classic co-star, Laurence Fishburne, and just how awesome that was.

Next up with spoke with Chad Stahelski. The director discussed amping up the action sequences, and the level of training that his star went into. He also went on about crafting the action and the mythology and why this is different than most action flicks – this shite is thrilling to watch without needing a ton of fast cuts. And finally, we spoke with both Common and Ruby Rose about how they fell into the world of JOHN WICK, and taking on big action in a very different way. JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 hits theatres this Friday, get ready for one hell of a ride!
