Charlize Theron teaming with John Wick Directors for 'Atomic Blonde'

[Asr]

Trailer sold me and I'll be there opening weekend. I hope the directors' next movie will have both Charlize and Keanu in it for a crossover universe. And given how JW2 ended that could be set up fairly easily....

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I thought this film was based in the time right before the fall of the Berlin Wall? Seems a crossover with Wick would be unlikely.

very happy this is getting a great response at SXSW

Leave them be in their own worlds I say, we don't need to cross over everything.

 

[Sithborg]

Given what I've heard of this film, that's fine.

But put that training to good use, John Wick 3.

There's a long take fight in #AtomicBlonde that's the best since CHILDREN OF MEN & it's a highlight of Charlize Theron's career. #SXSW

The audience hooted, cheered and applauded throughout like it was a rock show. SUCH a rush. #AtomicBlonde #SXSW

I don't know about outright crossovers, but it could be the same universe. One with a crazy assassin world and crazy spy world together.

How could this be a crossover? Is't AB set in the 80s?

Mind you, Keanu doesn't age so...

Just reveal she's really Wick's mom or aunt.

Sitting at 40% Rotten with 5 reviews on RT so far. Hearing a critic say that fans of Miami Vice will dig the film makes me even more excited.

 

[StarLord]

Still 4/5 months until release though.

 

[BlackFox]

Now at 63% after 8 reviews, bit of a mixed bag by the sounds of it.

Nah, it is mostly positive. Those reviews just have not been updated yet. I see this in high 70s.

 

[BlackFox]

Ah fair enough, still early anyway and seems like a while before the films even out so no doubt it will change a bit. Average rating is 7/10 so that aint bad.

 

[Bren]

Watched the trailer. I can't explain it, but my feeling is, 'trying too hard'...

Well, they have had an on/off relationship when Charlize is single since the late 90's. They've co-starred in a couple movies.

The trailer looked pretty decent if the reviews are any indication this might be lit.

I think that the idea/hope is less that it's a full-on crossover, and more that it's set in that same world. Like they imply that this whole "secret world" has been going on for longer than John Wick himself has been around. So why not during the Cold War?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Finally saw the red band trailer for this. Hot damn it looks excellent. I hope this kicks off a trend of action films with LGBTQ lead characters.

Atomic blonde is based off a comic whereas JW isn't. Crossover doesn't feel right..

New trailer and a ten minute sequence got great buzz at CinemCon.

Now kiss!
