How John Wick: Chapter 4’s Hotline Miami-Inspired Scene Was Created Detailed By Cinematographer

Having pulled from a wide variety of influences, cinematographer Dan Laustsen details how John Wick: Chapter 4‘s Hotline Miami-inspired scene was created. Finally landing the opportunity to win his freedom from The High Table in a sunrise duel against Donnie Yen’s Caine and Bill Skarsgård’s Marquis de Gramont, the third act of the fourquel saw Kean Reeves’ eponymous assassin racing across Paris to get to the Sacré-Cœur as various contractors attempt to kill him beforehand. Nearly being cornered in an abandoned apartment building, John successfully takes down many of the Marquis’ men, partially with the use of a Dragon’s Breath-ammo shotgun.
