On Thursday, September 26, Lionsgate released the first trailer for the highly anticipated action film Ballerina, a spin-off of the popular John Wick series. This action-packed movie was partially filmed in the Czech Republic during the autumn and winter of 2022, with some key scenes shot in Prague near the National Theatre. The film is slated for release on June 6, 2025. Directed by Len Wiseman and written by Shay Hatten, Ballerina takes place between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, thrusting the focus on Eve’s origins and her relentless quest for vengeance. After her family’s brutal murder, Eve sets out to take down the ruthless hitmen responsible, utilising her skills as a ballerina and a lethal assassin.

Reeves reprises his iconic role, playing a substantial part in the film, as confirmed by writer Shay Hatten. Keanu Reeves was spotted in Prague in November 2022, during the early stages of production....
