Original John Wick star John Leguizamo reveals his first reaction to the Keanu Reeves movie's script, revealing he was underwhelmed by the material.
Though now considered one of the biggest names in the genre, John Leguizamo recalls being underwhelmed by the original John Wick script. Leguizamo starred in the Keanu Reeves-led action franchise as Aurelio, the owner of a high-end chop shop associated with the assassin underworld who puts the eponymous protagonist on the trail of who killed the puppy gifted to him by his late wife.
Aurelio runs a car chop shop, where you break up cars and put them together and I’m an expert engine maker, that’s what John Wick gets. It’s interesting, when I got the John Wick script, it was okay, it wasn’t like, “Wow, I can’t wait to do this,” it was like, “This is interesting.” You know, you didn’t know what it was going to be. Then I go to the premiere and I’m like, “What?!” It was so visceral, you didn’t see it on the page, so David Leitch did an amazing job.
