Ballerina (2025)

[Himmel]

Exclusive:

Lionsgate has won a bidding war to pick up a female-centric spec action script titled Ballerina that will serve as a platform for a possible John Wick spin-off

Ballerina has been described as being in the vein of La Femme Nikita, the 1990s female-centric assassin movie that helped launch the career of filmmaker Luc Besson, but with a more pulpy, hyper-stylized bent a la Quentin Tarantino or Matthew Vaughn.

Details are being kept under the tutu, but the story is known to center on a young woman raised as an assassin who must hunt down the other assassins that murdered her family.

The script hit the studios last week with Warner Bros. and Universal also vying for it, according to sources. Lionsgate saw in it potential to further grow its Wick franchise

I don't mind this, but Atomic Blonde can be basically a John Wick spinoff.

Hey if so, she will have a lot more to do.

John Wick is ripe for spin-offs. Basically a world of assassins.

[Cremildo]

A spin-off about that mute babe? Could be good.

I really liked Ruby Rose in John Wick 2 so I would be down for that

007, take notes.

I kinda like Wiseman, and the premise is cool, even if derivative. I'm in.

While I wouldn't say Wiseman is underrated, he's not bad either. He seems to get the job done, anyway.

Id rather have a Sophia spin-off

He's one of the most bland directors working today. They could've and should've found anyone better.

But he's done action work before on movies like Underworld and he for the most part seems to understand action films at a basic level, so whilst he's not amazing, imo there's not many others that i can ring off that might take this on. So i'm fine with giving him a chance.

He directed Live Free or Die Hard so that has to count for something.

It would have been one hundred percent more interesting if it was Frederick Wiseman. He even did a documentary about ballet!
