That epic JohnWick4 stair sequence was filmed in just five days, says director Chad Stahelski.
The final action set piece from John Wick: Chapter 4 sees Keanu Reeves face off against a horde of enemies eager to kill him as he moves up the famous 220 stairs of the Sacré Coeur, in Paris, France. The action sequence is long and, in one moment, John Wick is thrown down the stairs after almost making it to the top. It looks like a complicated sequence, and director Chad Stahelski says they had to nail it in five days.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT During an interview with Collider, the filmmaker told our own Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub the assets that helped them had the scene completed in just five or six days: “He had to do that twice, and on the second one, that take that you see in the movie, there's no stitching. It is 100% real. We cut when he stopped rolling. It is the second take, all in, no digital effects other than wiping out the camera that was tracking down, it was on a cable cam. […] went about 65% of the way down the stairs, to 220 steps. And he did it all on the second take. Pretty impressive.
