In the article posted by Empire today, more details about John Wick: Chapter 2 have emerged. A showdown occurs in a blinding hall of mirrors. Keanu Reeves said the following about the hall of mirrors:
“The mirror room was Chad’s idea. It’s his homage to Bruce Lee at the end of Enter The Dragon. The whole installation is a maze of mirrors where guys can pop out and disappear. It’s very cool and a lot of fun to fight in.”
Chad Stahelski said the following about Asian cinema being a major influence in the JW2:
“You go watch any of the great Hong Kong guys, [you’re watching] wider shots; you’re watching an extremely talented individual. If you’re using fast editing to hide things, I call bullshit. That’s cheating. Luckily, we have a cast member that can do it. Keanu’s been doing martial arts for 25 years. He’s been trained by us, he’s been trained by Yuen Wo Ping. He’s been trained by Chen Yen.”
Keanu Reeves said the following about film:
“It’s like going back to your favourite restaurant but this time, instead of getting to the fillet, you’re getting the porterhouse.”
