More importantly, he seems like a genuinely good guy.

“A family friend builds movie sets, doesn’t design, is one of the poor dudes that just builds. Anyways he worked on the set for the Matrix and Keanu heard about family trouble he was having and gave him a $20,000 Christmas bonus to help him out. He also was one of the only people on the set that genuinely wanted to know people’s names, would say hello and mean it, and would talk to people as if they were his peers and not below him just because they were practically making nothing to build a set. I’ve never heard anyone say Keanu is a douche, seems like the nicest person in Hollywood from a second hand experience.”

Um, both Bill and Ted's were fucking amazing!

People mostly complain about his acting. For the roles he takes though, he is usually very well suited.

Nice! I hadn't heard confirmation, just that "they were looking into sequels" after the success of John Wick. Awesome. I can't wait to see what they add to the society of assassins.

What is wrong with Bill and Ted's? I thought they were great, but I saw it as a kid though so that might have something to do with it.

imho they can improve it by not calling it John Wick 2. just make yet another action film and thats it. Not like they need to "build on the story".

cna you imagine a john wick franchise?? lol. what kind of mindless film to turn into a franchise, i can't think of anoth..
oh wait.

i hope this doesn't get matrixed (created as only one movie, then 2 and 3 were cash-ins).

john wick was excellent though. i was very impressed.

gawd..is John Wick going to be another "Taken"??

It certainly had that vibe...that being said, I enjoyed it...the Equalizer as well. Maybe they will make an Wick vs Equalizer movie!!

A prequel would actually make sense. Franchise could actually end up like Underworld, as the closest comparison.

I loved the Bill & Ted movies, especially the second one. If you want an example of a bad Keanu movie, you want 47 Ronin.

John Wick was great, but part of that was the setup with his wife and dog. Now that he's "back in the game" I don't see how a sequel can match that.

47 Ronin wasn't bad because of Keanu though. He did a decent enough job with what little the film had to work with.

He is. I've bumped into him a couple of times in the street. He even took a selfie with me (before it was called "selfie") Very nice guy. Can't grow a decent beard tho!

I'd much rather see a movie about the hotel than more of Wick. I liked the first movie a lot, but I was completely enthralled by the idea of this assassin's hotel that had rules and structure. A movie about the daily grind of that kind of business would be very interesting. Too bad it's too far out of a normal shoot up action grind for anyone to put money into making it.
