Hollywood What If Chapter 130

  The produ crew has already cast the major characters in John Wibsp;

  For Winston (the owner of the tial Hotel), Kazir decided to go with the inal actor. Ian Me signed on for sequels and cameos. He was trying to break through because his work in the 90's was all TV shows.

  Iosef Tarasov was the asshole who caused all the John Wick movies. He was the son of Viggo Tarasov. He was responsible for killing John Wick's dog. Because of that, John Wick returo the underworld and ended his retirement. Kazir could not find the inal actor, so he decided to choose someone from the auditions.

  Of course, Viggo Tarasov yed by Michael Nyqvist. He was the inal actor and he willingly signed a tract. He had just started in Hollywood that year. He oli in a TV show. pared to his role iV show, being a mafia boss was better.

  Kazir also didn't fet about Willem Dafoe. Willem Dafoe was a theater stage actor at this time. Even though Marcus (Willem Dafoe) died in the first movie, his role was quite important. In fact, Kazir was not sure if he would kill Marcus this time. The man was a real homie for saving John Wick. In addition, Kazir wao make Marcus a member of the Fraternity. The Fraternity was a group of assassins who had high tration and could bend trajectory of bullets.

  Then another important character. Kirill. This certain bodyguard was, in Kazir's opinion, the toughest oppo John Wick ever faced iire John Wiiverse. Well, Kirill defeated John Wice, throwing him off the sed floor of the bar. Also, their st fight was a dogfight. It was dog eat dog.

  For Kirill, the crew could not find the inal actor, so they went with another actor. They chose Bryan ston.

  To be ho, their first choice was Sean Bean, but Kazir pushed Bryan ston. He was ied in seeing Mister White and John Wick fight.

  That's right, Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones) and Bryan ston (Breaking Bad) auditioned for the role of John Wick. Kazir saw their names and ihem to audition for Kirill's role instead.

  As for the rest of the characters, they easily filled them.

  The most important, of course, was John Wick himself.

  Kazir was actually thinkiween Gary Oldman and Viggo Mortensen. He invited Gary Oldman and even gave him a script. The actor had the privilege of auditioning in the final round of casting.

  Gary Oldman is fully prepared for the role. He got long hair, a beard and a bck suit. He looked like the ination of John Wick. The produ crew almost heir heads and gave him the part.

  But Gary Oldman didn't want to sign on for a trilogy for a starting sary of 1.4 million... He wanted more. Well, that is how business works.

  Kazir Grey didn't want a loiation because the actors raining as soon as possible. So Kazir looked at the other actors who had passed the st round of auditions.

  Then Viggo Mortensen caught his eye. The man also passed the appearance of John Wick. To make it better, Viggo Mortensen promised to learn Russian. And his sary was only 1 million dolrs.

  In the end, Kazir Grey decided to let go of Gary Oldman. He chose Viggo Mortensen and signed five films and cameos. The increase in sary per film was 40%.

  Just before the st week of 1997, the cast of John Wick was plete. Grey Pictures got a holiday break as Christmas and New Year's were ing up.

  All work would resume the first week of January.

  As fary Oldman... Unfortunately, he might regret his decision ter.

  .........

  ......

  ...

  "Phew... Phew..."

  Now that the cast was plete, the actors begaraining in early January.

  The training studio was filled with equipment for them. Grey Pictures hired professional trainers.

  The actors were drenched i and panting. Especially Viggo Mortensen and Bryan ston. The two tio practice their stunts. Even though they were practig safely, they could not help but get a few scratches.

  Uhe usual protagonists who didn't get any wounds or bruises, John Wick was the type to get hurt by everyone.

  Throughout the ey of Chapter 2 to Chapter 4, John Wick walked with a limp due to the damage he received from the battles. hat the entire John Wick plot only happened in weeks.

  Maybe that was why the movie was successful, because John Wick was a vulnerable person who could feel pain. He could get hurt, not like Rambo and T800.

  The cast has to finish the 100 days of training. Everybody signed a trad it should be respected. If someoried to disregard the tract, they hire another o was good that most of the actors were not famous and humble. They were afraid of being repced.

  Filming would begin around April. The whole shooting would take two to three months. Thankfully, Kazir's work was much faster and more effit than other directors.

  Most directors take two years to plete a project, but Kazir could plete one film a year. And his films were all successful. With this ability, the Big Six were salivating to have him.

  In fact, one of the Big Six was thinking of acquiring Grey Pictures just to have Kazir Grey. His future romising and they would do anything for the profit. If Kazir and Grey Pictures were worth it, they were willing to pay.
