John Wick: Chapter 2

There’s nothing quite as much fun as a perfectly conceived and executed supercut. Whether it’s a compilation of movie scenes where Nic Cage loses his mind or a movie dialogue version of one of Lionel Richie’s classic songs, a good supercut is the perfect piece of digital ephemera for movie lovers everywhere. And while most supercuts are fan-made labors of love, at least one studio has noticed the attention given to them and planned its marketing accordingly. So it was that the John Wick ‘Symphony of Violence’ supercut was given unto us, and it was very, very good.

In addition to that awesome aforementioned poster, there’s a new TV spot for John Wick: Chapter 2, in which Keanu Reeves isn’t just getting lit, as the kids say — he did that in the first movie. This time, he’s getting “relit,” which is like when you’re lit but then you’re not so much lit anymore and then someone gets you lit again, so you’re like, extra lit. Or something. Basically, Keanu Reeves is about to take out a whole bunch of bad dudes (again).

We have a few days before the end of 2016, but more importantly, less than two months before John Wick is thinking he’s back again — this time with a canine upgrade, some new assassins, and a delightful reunion with Matrix co-star Laurence Fishburne. In keeping with the spirit of the season, Lionsgate has released a new photo from John Wick: Chapter 2, giving us a preview of that mini-reunion along with a few details about Fishburne’s role in Wick’s world.
