Don't think this has been discussed. HBO is getting ready for a John Wick prequal, taking place in the early 70s on how The Continental and organization was created. Set to air June 2022 after John Wick 4 hits theatres.
Quote:
"We [Lionsgate TV] were really blown away because it solved a bunch of problems and was super exciting, about a crumbling New York in the 1970s with a garbage strike that has piled up bags of garbage to the third floor of most brownstones, the mafia muscling in on that business which is why in The Sopranos he's in the sanitation business, and other things that are really real as an interesting backdrop to explore the origins of The Continental which is famously within the movie franchise the assassin's hotel in which you cannot kill anyone on the hotel grounds, but of course if you step one foot off you're fair game, and that's employed to great effect in many of the plots in the movies."
Yeah, that's interesting. My friend is a writer on this and he specifically told me HBO (he's written only for Showtime before). I wonder if his contract is through Lionsgate. I'll find out and clarify.MW03 said:

Pretty sure there was an SNL skit by this name.
too bad it's HBO. Their production quality and history of programs lacks....ORAggieFan said:
Looks like it's going to be more of a mini series. 3 90 minute episodes.
