When it was first released in 2014,John Wickinitially seemed to be a typical, run-of-the-mill action thriller.
John Wickwas originally released on October 24, 2014.
Reeves sent Stahelski the script forScorn, and it was very different from what the final product would be.
For starters, it was shorter than the average screenplay, with only 65-75 pages.
And on top of that,the tone was very different, too.
Stahelski said thatonly four people died in the entire script.
Kolstads original script had more of a Cold War vibe.
A gritty, Cold War-ishJohn Wickmovie sounds like a great cinematic thriller.
By any metric, the movie did really well.
