John Wick 5 Isn't a Sure Thing, Keanu Reeves Not in Caine Spin-off
Longtime Jon Wick director Chad Stahelski recently opened up about progress on John Wick 5, the planned Caine spin-off, and how Keanu Reeves factors into it all. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Stahelski was asked about how John Wick 5 will move forward while still trying to keep Wick's death in the fourth movie a canon fact. Stahelski admitted that coming up with ideas was tough and that they are still trying to crack it. 'I'm not going to lie to you, it's a bit of a conundrum,' said Stahelski. 'Me and Mike Finch — the writer on 4 who's also writing 5 — we've got a pretty good story that I think is cool. Once we have a 50-page book, and if we're feeling it, we'll sit with Keanu and shape this thing. Look, everybody seems to want it. It's a matter of whether we crack it. We're actively working on it. It's just . . . is it going to be satisfying?' Despite the reported development of a fifth film, Stahelski seemed more apprehensive about the film existing, noting that 'if' they decide it isn't right, they will likely stumble across other story ideas in the process. The director noted that the studio does 'very much' want a fifth movie, though, and they are trying. 'The studio would very much will it into existence, I'm sure, at some point. Look, they've been great and they've asked us to really try and we have a really good couple of ideas and we're going to try.' Another question asked of Stahelski was whether or not Wick will appear in the planned spin-off movie Caine, which stars Donny Yen. Stahelski did reveal that Wick won't be in that movie and offered up what fans can expect from its tone. 'The Donny Yen spinoff doesn't have the John Wick character. It's got Donny Yen and it's an ode to kung fu movies,' Stahelski said. 'If John Wick 1 was about Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin, this is about Chow Yun-fat, John Woo and Wong Kar-wai. So I think that one is a little easier to get it across to audiences because it's in a sub-genre of what we love.' (Source: The Hollywood Reporter) Originally reported by Anthony Nash on Coming Soon.

John Wick 5 Release Date Window, Cast, Plot & Things We Know
After the success of the previous four John Wick movies, fans were eager for John Wick 5. There is one slight problem, however. John is dead, and director Chad Stahelski and the crew are still trying to figure out how to bring Keanu Reeves' iconic character back without altering the events that have already taken place. While John Wick 5 was seemingly confirmed, Chad Stahelski's latest interview with The Hollywood Reporter suggests that there are issues that still need to be addressed. Speaking to the publication, Stahelksi revealed they were still unsure of the story or how to incorporate John Wick in the proposed fifth film. This problem arises because John's story ended with the fourth film. 'I'm not going to lie to you, it's a bit of a conundrum. Me and Mike Finch — the writer on 4 who's also writing 5 — we've got a pretty good story that I think is cool. Once we have a 50-page book, and if we're feeling it, we'll sit with Keanu and shape this thing,' said the director in the interview. So if John Wick 5 does come out, fans should not expect it very soon. Stahelski is also working on Highlander with Henry Cavill, which means that the John Wick movie's release date could be pushed to 2027 or, more realistically, 2028. As the film is still in the writing stages, there is no update on John Wick 5's casting. Of course, Keanu Reeves will return, and the filmmakers also expect other cast members, like Ian McShane, to join him. The film could add Ana de Armas' character, as she is now part of the universe. Fans speculate that characters like Caine (Donnie Yen) or Sofia (Halle Berry) could return. If the film moves forward, more details about the cast will be available. The primary issue of John Wick 5's plot is how to bring the protagonist back from the dead. It would have to take either of the two paths for this. The creators can set it before the events of John Wick 4, perhaps between two earlier films. If that does not happen, the fifth film will have to address John's fate. It will need to show how he possibly faked his death to escape the clutches of the High Table. Anyhow, it will also contain more villains and a lot more action. There will be more updates about the film soon.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Says Children of Original ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Actors Auditioned for Reboot
Sarah Michelle Gellar revealed that she saw some familiar names on the audition roster for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot. The actress who played Buffy Summers in the original series, which ran for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003, recently chatted with Us Weekly with her former Buffy co-star Alyson Hannigan, who portrayed Willow Rosenberg. During the interview, Hannigan confessed, 'I know somebody who auditioned for something on the show.' More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Buffy' Update at Hulu Casts Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the New Slayer 'Ready or Not' Sequel Enlists Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elijah Wood Slay! Inside the Buffy Prom, Where Fans of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Partied Like It Was 1999 However, Gellar also knew some people. 'I know somebody who was on the show whose child auditioned on the show,' she revealed. 'I know a few people from the show whose children came in.' 'It better not have been one of my kids,' Hannigan quipped in response. Though the Wolf Pack star didn't reveal the names of those who auditioned, last week it was announced that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong has been cast in a lead role in Hulu's pilot for the reboot. The new show will also see Gellar reprise her role as Buffy Summers. 'From the moment I saw Ryan's audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side,' Gellar said in a statement regarding Armstrong's casting. 'To have that kind of emotional intelligence, and talent, at such a young age is truly gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room.' Most details on Armstrong's role, as well as the show itself, are being kept under wraps. The original series, which also starred Nicholas Brendon, Anthony Head, James Marsters and Emma Caulfield Ford, followed Buffy Summers, destined to slay vampires, demons and other infernal creatures, as she dealt with her life of fighting evil, with the help of her friends. A premiere date for the reboot has yet to be revealed.
