John Wick co-director Chad Stahelski reveals that the original script for the film was “very grounded” and featured a low kill count. Released in 2014, the first installment in the successful John Wick franchise introduces Keanu Reeves as the titular assassin, following the character as he seeks revenge for the murder of his dog. The film, which would spawn three hit sequels, features stylized action and what is known as “gun-fu,” with Wick ultimately killing 77 people in the first movie alone.
