Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, the late Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves co-star.
The news comes as Stahelski and his 87Eleven Entertainment label have officially struck a multi-year first-look production deal with Lionsgate – focusing on original action movies and projects. A few weeks back he also took on a major role overseeing both the “John Wick” and “Highlander” franchises going forward.
