John Wick: Chapter 4’s Climactic Shootout Was "The Biggest Challenge" To Film, Details Cinematographer

With it being one of the most pivotal sequences in the franchise, cinematographer Dan Laustsen details the challenges in shooting John Wick: Chapter 4‘s climactic shootout. After surviving a slew of hitmen sent by the Marquis de Gramont, Keanu Reeves’ eponymous protagonist arrives at the Sacré-Cœur for a duel against the villain’s substitute, Donnie Yen’s Caine, to earn his freedom from the High Table. Set against the rising Parisian sun, John and Caine succeed in fooling the Marquis to step in and be killed without violating any rules, though Wick seemingly succumbs to the wounds from the first few shots.
