Prepare for a cinematic shuffle! Lionsgate’s anticipated John Wick spinoff, Ballerina, featuring Ana de Armas, has adjusted its premiere to 2025. However, fear not, action enthusiasts, as Rupert Sanders’ remake of The Crow is seizing the spotlight, now slated for a June 7, 2024 release, a day earlier than initially planned.
Insiders reveal that Chad Stahelski, the creative force behind the John Wick franchise, collaborates with Ballerina director Len Wiseman to enhance the film’s action sequences.
With The Crow poised for its debut and boasting robust advance tracking figures, Lionsgate has opted for a strategic release schedule, prioritizing quality over haste.
Ballerina follows the journey of a highly skilled assassin trained in the traditions of the Ruska Roma. With a stellar cast including Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, and Keanu Reeves, the film promises a riveting experience.
Fans can expect a potent blend of action and intrigue, with additional sequences fine-tuned for maximum impact.
On the flip side, “The Crow” reboot, featuring Bill Skarsgård, is a contemporary reinterpretation of the original graphic novel by James O’Barr.
The tale revolves around soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA twigs), brutally murdered and granted a chance at redemption. As Eric seeks revenge, he navigates the realms of the living and the dead to rectify the injustice.
As a bonus announcement, Lionsgate has slotted an untitled Guy Ritchie film for release on Jan. 17, 2025. Ritchie, joined by stars Henry Cavill and Eiza González from their upcoming project, “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” crafts a suspenseful narrative where extraction specialists guide a senior negotiator to safety.
Stay tuned for these dynamic releases, as Lionsgate orchestrates an exhilarating lineup, ensuring audiences are in for a cinematic treat.
