If you’re looking for something closer to John Wick in video game form, check out Wes’ article on Vreski’s The Hong Kong Massacre, which Wes refers to as “one of the most underrated shooters of the 2010s.Juana Martinez-Neal’s first picture book as both author and illustrator- Alma and How She Got Her Name-was awarded a 2019 Caldecott Honor and Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor, was chosen as a 2019 NCTE Charlotte Huck Award Recommended Title, and was named a Best Book of 2018 by School Library Journal, ALA Booklist, and the New York Public Library. But you can rely on a regular cadence of John Wick.”Īs mentioned, John Wick has already dipped into video games with the VR shooter John Wick Chronicles and the action RTS John Wick Hex, but the idea of doing something similar to John Woo’s Stranglehold or Max Payne would be far more accessible, and a better use of the property.

And so, we’re building out the world and when that five movie comes, will be organic - will be organically grown out of how we’re starting to tell those stories. “We’re in development on three others, including and including television series, “The Continental”, will be airing soon. “What is official is that, as you know, Ballerina is the first spinoff that comes out next year,” states Drake. Along with that, the studio is looking to expand beyond film, including “in the AAA video game space,” as well as a “regular cadence of spin-offs” and TV. And not only is John Wick 5 also in development, but Wick will be making a return to video games, as well.Īccording to the latest Lionsgate earnings call ( via Comicbook), Lionsgate Motion Picture Group President Joe Drake confirmed that a fifth John Wick is in early development.

Lionsgate are obviously riding the success of the John Wick series with the upcoming Ballerina spinoff and “The Continental” TV series. NECA made their first Chop Top figure just last year. They also put out a figure of the Hitchhiker based on the original film. Longtime collectors may remember that Mezco released the first ever Chop Top figure as part of their Cinema of Fear line, which included the corpse of Nubbins as an accessory. At this time, we have no idea if he’ll be released individually or packaged alongside another toy – perhaps a re-release of Chop Top or maybe a different member of the family? Why are we talking about Nubbins today? Because for #MonsterMonday, NECA just showed off a sneak peek at a Nubbins Saywer action figure! Wearing real fabric clothes, Nubbins looks to be part of their retro-style line, and the company says that more details will be revealed in the coming weeks. Of course, the film ended with the Hitchhiker being run over by a semi-truck, so the character’s appearance in the sequel was limited – his corpse was carried around by Chop Top, his twin brother, and Hooper revealed in the 1986 follow-up that the Hitchhiker’s name was Nubbins Sawyer. The very first member of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre family we ever met was initially dubbed “The Hitchhiker,” played by actor Edwin Neal in the original movie.
