Wick Is Pain trailer out
On May 1, 2025, Lionsgate released the official trailer of their forthcoming documentary film Wick Is Pain. The film will chronicle how the Keanu Reeves starrer John Wick, which started a franchise, came to be. It features interviews of Reeves as well as Chad Stahelski, who has directed all the films in the franchise (except the spin-offs).
Taking to the comment section, several fans expressed their excitement for the docu and their admiration for the franchise:
"Indeed the best action franchise of the decade."
One person noted how the documentary gives credit to David Leitch, who was the co-director. They wrote:
"So happy that David Leitch is getting his flowers in this. Unfortunate circumstances led to him not being credited as co-director on the original film but without it, he wouldn’t have made Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Hobbs and Shaw, Bullet Train or Fall Guy. He’s just as influential as Stahelski and it’s awesome that he gets the recognition"
Wick Is Pain will premiere on May 8, 2025, at the Beyond Fest, which will take place at the American Cinematheque. The film will be available digitally from May 9 on various platforms, including Fandango at Home, YouTube, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Comcast Xfinity, and Microsoft Movies & TV. The pre-ordering began on May 1.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson wrote:
“The phenomenal success of the ‘John Wick’ franchise demonstrates what happens when filmmakers deliver everything fans wish for in a movie viewing experience: emotionally impactful storytelling, one of the most beloved actors of his generation, characters the audience cares about, and a next-level approach to every aspect of filmmaking. I am so excited for our fans to get this unprecedented glimpse into the incredible story of how those ingredients came together to form the franchise they know and love.”
