AceShowbiz - Don't hit the button was probably the message in "John Wick". Trailer for the action drama starring Keanu Reeves has just been released, packed with flying bullets and martial arts stuff that the actor is known for.
Reeves plays an ex-hitman who comes out of retirement when a group of gangsters decide to rob his car and kill his dog. "I lost everything. That dog was a gift from my dying wife," he says before sledgehammering the concrete floor of his home to retrieve his "treasure."
Everyone else but the culprit knew not to mess with John Wick. "It's not what you did son, it's who you did it to," Michael Nyqvist's Viggo told his naive thug son.
Directed by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, "John Wick" is written by "The Package" scribe Derek Kolstad. The pic will screen at the upcoming Fantastic Festival in Austin, Texas with Reeves scheduled to attend. It will then open in theaters nationwide on October 24.
