Having been a part of the long-running zombie horror franchise The Walking Dead for nearly 15 years, Norman Reedus is no stranger to an action sequence. But the fights on upcoming thriller Ballerina tested his limits.
While promoting Jeff Nicholls' new drama The Bikeriders, starring Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer, and Austin Butler, the actor recalled the John Wick spin-off's “painful” reshoots, as he teased what to expect from the flick.
"It was painful," he laughed. "I just got back from Budapest where we added more fight scenes to it. So, I went from Japan to Budapest, back to Japan basically. It's high-octane. It's a cool story, it's well-acted, visually stunning, but it's just like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."
Starring Knives Out's Ana de Armas, the movie is set to center on Rooney, a dancer-turned-assassin for the ruthless Ruska Roma crime family, with which John had dealings with himself in the original series. The character, who will be reintroduced on a quest for revenge, was actually first glimpsed in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, but was played in that film by Unity Phelan.
