And the action was awesome.  What I didn&#8217;t see coming was how much the audience loved the world, its rules, its rule, its madness, and its rogues gallery of villains and (sort of) good guys.  All those roads led to one place, the epicenter and beating heart of the franchise: the hotel called The Continental, run by two of the franchise&#8217;s biggest characters, Winston and Charon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe four Wick movies take place over a period of 3 months.  John is either chasing or being chased.  There was no time to breathe, to allow the audience to dig deeper into the world and its inhabitants,\u201d he continued.  &#8220;In our show, <em>Continental<\/em>, we finally have space to explore these characters, how they became who they are, and how The Continental became the epicenter of this world.  Combine that with the introduction of new characters that are as compelling as any of the <em>John Wick<\/em> universe.  Crazy cool and inventive action.  Easter eggs that will excite Wick fans.  And what I love most: a vision of 70s New York that embodies the sexy, edgy and visceral style the franchise is known for.  This show will look\/sound\/smell cooler than any show out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parts 1 and 3 executive producer and director Albert Hughes said they aim to &#8220;honor the spirit of escapism and excitement from the film series while introducing new fans to a hyper-stylized world they&#8217;ve never seen before so far&#8221;.  (Charlotte Brandstrom directs Part 2.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Together, Executive Producer\/Writer Kirk Ward and I had several goals &#8211; to explore the backstories of familiar Wick characters, introduce new and interesting ones, deepen the rules and mythology while expanding the physical realm of The Continental, showing fans areas of the film.  iconic hotel they have never seen before,&#8221; he continued.  \u201cKirk and I had the time of our lives creating this impressionistic twist on New York in the 70s.  Even the soundtrack has become a character in itself and reflects everything that is American culture \u2013 a tapestry of distinct identities and experiences brought together to create something truly unique.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that &#8220;disco noir&#8221; was the mood they aimed to achieve.
