Stahelski was more passionate about Wick, and Leitch about The Coldest City, so they split up.but shared the workload. Charlize Theron approached them about directing The Coldest City (now retitled Atomic Blonde), which would have had to go into production at the same time as John Wick 2. While Stahelski is ostensibly sole director this time around, he and Leitch are still a team - they just want to double their output. I guess he's supposed to be a badass.' We'd rather just show you." "How many times do you hear how badass somebody is, but then you see the fight scenes cut to, and you're like, 'Well I don't even know what happened.

"The more times you use a stunt double means more edits, more coverage, more time. We're gonna save time because we only have 50 days - less, 47 days on the first movie. The more you do punches and kicks, the more you gotta miss, because you gotta sell the hit, you gotta change the angle. "It's more about solving problems," says Stahelski. It turns out that John's signature fighting moves, which often involve MMA moves like armbar takedowns, followed by gunshots to the head or ribcage, were developed more out of convenience than anything else. With the fully loaded Blu-ray hitting stores today, he took a few minutes to talk to me about the differences between the films, and how their unique action style came about. Former stuntmen Chad Stahelski and David Leitch directed the first Keanu Reeves-starring actioner as a team, but for the sequel, Stahelski, who began as Reeves' stunt double in the Matrix movies, got sole billing.
