Summary

"John Wick: Chapter 4" is the culmination of years of hard work, creative ambition, and four exhilarating films that gave audiences an iconic new action movie character worth rooting for. The fourth installment of the franchise, started by director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves in 2014, has gone on to achieve the highest critical and financial success for the franchise, leaving audiences clamoring for more as the talents behind the scenes pushed the action film genre to new heights they had never seen before. Director Chad Stahelski, cinematographer Dan Laustsen, and supervising sound editor Mark Stoeckinger were all kind enough to lend their insight into the making of such a beloved and challenging technical film where the stunts, camera work, and sound are all operating at the highest level. It's literally one of the finest action films ever crafted and is even making a case for why stunts should finally be honored at the Oscars. Please take a moment to listen to these interviews and check out the film, which is up for your consideration in all eligible categories for this year's Academy Awards. Thank you, and enjoy!
