Thanks Ayako!
According to the latest news out of Cannes, the Cutting Edge Group is providing development funds to Thunder Road upfront in exchange for the producer’s forthcoming music slate. One of the films included in the deal is John Wick starring Keanu Reeves which reportedly shoots in September.
The entire post can be read at Deadline London.
Note: The data bases are currently showing that John Wick is in development. CAA is the sales representative for the USA and Liongate is the sales rep for all other non-USA media. Usually development funds are for just that, developing the script and getting the ball rolling. It is not clear if this project is farther along than previously reported or the September start date is a pipe dream, hence the question mark. Regardless, the film has just acquire some financing so that is a good sign overall for the film’s prospects.
