‘It's A Rush. It's Traumatic.' Ballerina's Director Discusses The Surprise Reaction Ana De Armas Had The First Time She Set Someone On Fire With A Flamethrower
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When you see a gun firing in a movie, it is loaded with blanks. When you see a knife stabbing somebody, it's either rubber or plastic. Flamethrowers, on the other hand, are a whole different deal. While some productions opt for CGI, the truth is that there is a big on-screen difference between real fire and fire that's digitally created, and no genius has yet to invent fire that doesn't hurt/burn. The blaze-spurting weapons are serious business, which is why I am in no way surprised that Ana de Armas had a very emotional reaction using one during the making of Ballerina. As previewed in the trailers for the John Wick side-quel, there is an extended sequence in Ballerina where protagonist Eve Macarro straps on a flamethrower and goes on a mini rampage torching a bunch of dudes – and that's basically what de Armas had to do on set. The people that she was setting on fire were trained and experienced stunt performers who were prepared for said torching with extreme safety at front of mind, but even just practicing for the scene left the star in tears. Speaking about using the extreme weapon during a long lead press day earlier this spring, director Len Wiseman told me, They're scary in such a fun way... I tested it out and the amount of power that it feels behind it. And I remember, I tested it out before so I could tell Ana that it's safe and I've done it. And I got a report and the guys were testing with her when she actually had to actually test flaming somebody. And first attempt, she cried because it's horrifying, you know? Back in late March, I had the great pleasure of joining a small group of journalists for a special experience at 87Eleven headquarters in Los Angeles, and after a training session that saw us learn how to perform the moves in one of the key action sequences in Ballerina, I had the chance to speak with Wiseman about the process of making the film. Having personal experience being on a set where a flamethrower was used, I asked about the tension that the dangerous weapon can create. Wiseman explained that it was definitely a freaky experience for Ana de Armas to purposefully set a person on fire, but once she got past her first taste of it, her mood changed: And then after that, she was really down with it, really cool. She flamed, like, I don't even remember how many people. But imagine you're testing it out and flaming somebody and they're screaming in front of you and you're lighting them on fire. It's a rush. It's traumatic. If you're excited to witness Ana de Armas setting a whole bunch of people on fire, the best news I can offer you is that Ballerina is almost here. Featuring an outstanding ensemble cast including Anjelica Huston, Ian McShane, Gabriel Byrne, Norman Reedus, the late Lance Reddick, and John Wick himself, Keanu Reeves, the new action film arrives in theaters everywhere on June 6.

The First Time Ana De Armas Met Keanu Reeves, He Showed Her Choreo From The First John Wick. A Decade Later, They're Starring In Ballerina Together
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The John Wick franchise became more than just a saga following Keanu Reeves' title assassin when it delivered the Peacock subscription-exclusive prequel series The Continental in 2023. Now we're about to enter spinoff territory again with the 2025 movie release of Ballerina, which stars Ana de Armas in the lead role. This time though, Reeves gets to partake in this side quest as John Wick, although this didn't mark the first time he and de Armas met. A decade ago, the former showed the latter choreography from the first John Wick movie. Ana de Armas, who has previous action experience from No Time to Die, The Gray Man and Ghosted, reflected on that experience while appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She and Keanu Reeves first worked together on Knock Knock, and after they made each other's acquaintance, he showed off some of the moves he'd done for John Wick, which hadn't been released yet. In de Armas' words: The first time we met, we were at lunch, and he told us the story about John Wick. Like, he had just wrapped the first John got up from the chair in the middle of the restaurant and started doing one of the choreos in front of everybody. I was like 'Well, he looks excited.' More Ballerina Stories Tom Cruise Has Seen Ballerina, And He Did Not Hold Back About Ana De Armas' New Movie I Wasn't Sure What To Expect From Ballerina Until I Saw Ana De Armas Break Some Plates With Another Woman's Face (And Talk About The Insane Stuntwork She Went Through) As well he should have been! While Keanu Reeves had no idea at the time that John Wick would spawn a popular franchise, the action choreography alone was enough to make it stand out from the crowd. So Ana de Armas and everyone else in that restaurant got a special tease for what was to come, and man, I wish I could've been there. When John Wick was released in October 2014, it was met with positive critical reception and made $86 million worldwide, somewhere around three-four times its budget. Chapter 2 was greenlit a few months later, and the rest is history. Now the time has come to spotlight Ana de Armas' Eve Macarro in Ballerina, as we'll see her training to exact revenge on the people who killed her father. That will include her clashing with John Wick, and de Armas went on to explain just how much these movies mean to Keanu Reeves, whom she's now worked with three times (they also co-starred in Exposed): These kinds of movies, I mean, this is his happy place. This is what he likes to do. He loves rehearsing, he loves martial so generous too when he goes to set, and he knows you're trying to figure it out. So, he gives you your time, and he just steps back, he's never imposing anything. And then when you're ready, he's like 'I'm coming for you.' Ballerina takes place between the events of the third and fourth John Wick movies. As such, we'll find Reeves' character after he was found by The Bowery King, but before he started carrying out his mission of vengeance against The High Table. Although John Wick: Chapter 5 is in development, if it doesn't get off the ground it's entirely possible Ballerina will be the last time we see him playing the character since Chapter 4 ended with him being presumed dead. But ultimately Ballerina is Ana de Armas' platform to shine on, and her other co-stars include Anjelica Huston, Ian McShane, the late Lance Reddick, Gabriel Byrne and Norman Reedus, among others. The action flick, which arrives in theaters on June 6, was directed by Len Wiseman and written by Shay Hatten, and John Wick helmer Chad Stahelski oversaw the reshoots, although he'll go uncredited for that work.
