“John Wick: Chapter 2” Japanese Theatrical Poster
A new documentary that “explores relationships between actors and stunt performers” is coming from Rootbeer Films. Lenny Shapiro, CEO/President of Rootbeer Films, said, “Having produced many action films, it is my great pleasure to showcase the real action stars… the stunt people” (via Variety).
Joe Mantegna (Godfather 3) narrates while stars such as Keanu Reeves (John Wick), Halle Berry (John Wick 3) and Mark Wahlberg are interviewed.
Additional featured interviewees include Chad Stahelski (John Wick), Jon Bernthal, Shemar Moore, Joseph Gatt, Mark Dacascos (Ultimate Justice) and Helen Mirren.
The same team is also working on Hollywood’s Hard Hitters, a female version of 2nd Unit: Invisible Action Stars with Zoe Saldana (Columbiana) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Deathproof).
A Trailer and release date is expected soon, so stay tuned!
Sounds like two fun documentaries. It’ll be great to see how the actors and stuntmen collaborate.
I had no idea Columbiana was reviewed on the site and I have to say I strongly disagree with the write-up. I found it to be a cool Girls with Guns feature that proved Olivier Megaton could do better than the Taken sequels.

Seems like Maria Tran has some competition!
