Ballerina Plot

Add WION as a Preferred Source

According to several reports, Chad Stahelski, who oversees the John Wick franchise along with Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee at Thunder Road, is working closely with Ballerina director Len Wiseman on adding some action sequences. Since there’s time for that addition, and with Lionsgate’s other property, The Crow ready to be pushed out, the studio decided to advance the latter.

The John Wick spinoff Ballerina will follow the story of a skilled assassin trained, much like Ruska Roma.In the John Wick film franchise, the titular character John Wickis a former member of the Ruska Roma. In the series, the Ruska Roma are depicted as an organised crime syndicate and member of the High Table, a collection of underworld crime organizations.

The film stars Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus, with Ian McShane and Keanu Reeves.

Ballerina is written by Shay Hatten and is based on characters created by Derek Kolstad and produced by Iwanyk, Lee and Stahelski.

The Crow Plot

As for The Crow, it will star Bill Skarsgård in the story based on the original graphic novel by James O’Barr. In the film, soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA twigs) are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put wrong things right.

The Crow also stars Danny Huston, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila, and Jordan Bolger. Directed by Sanders, the film is written by Zach Baylin and Will Schneider and produced by Victor Hadida, Molly Hassell, John Jencks, Samuel Hadida, and Edward R. Pressman.

Lionsgate is also working on a yet-to-be-titled Guy Ritchie film which is slated for January 17, 2025. The project will reunite Ritchie with stars Henry Cavill and Eiza González following their other upcoming Lionsgate film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which is set to release on April 19, 2024.
