\n\tAs part of its expansion of the John Wick<\/a> universe, Lionsgate<\/a> is prepping an animated action film featuring the renowned\u00a0assassin. Franchise star Keanu Reeves<\/a> is expected to voice his signature character, with Shannon Tindle<\/a> set to direct. Vanessa Taylor is writing the script.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe announcement was made Tuesday at CinemaCon<\/a> by Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe movie will go back in time to tell the story of John Wick before the first film, as he completes the Impossible Task \u2014 killing all of his rivals in one night \u2014 in order to free himself from his obligation to\u00a0the High Table and earn the right to be with the love of his life, Helen.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe animated feature will be produced by the John Wick<\/em> team of Thunder Road\u2019s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, 87Eleven Entertainment\u2019s Stahelski, and Reeves. 87Eleven Entertainment\u2019s Alex Young and Jason Spitz will executive produce.<\/p>\n

\n\tTindle most recently co-wrote and\u00a0directed\u00a0the Annie-nominated\u00a0Netflix film\u00a0Ultraman: Rising<\/em>. He also created the double Oscar nominee\u00a0Kubo and the Two Strings\u00a0<\/em>and served as executive producer\/showrunner on the Emmy-winning series Lost Ollie<\/em>.\u00a0Taylor is known as\u00a0writer and co-executive producer of\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>, writer of\u00a0Divergent<\/em> and an Oscar nominee for her work\u00a0with Guillermo del Toro on\u00a0Best Picture winner\u00a0The Shape of Water<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn both animation and the world of John Wick, the possibilities are endless,\u201d Fogelson said. \u201cAnd there is no John Wick story fans are clamoring for more than the Impossible Task. Shannon\u2019s take on that story is an incredible one, and we are beyond excited to see what John Wick can do in animation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStahelski added: \u201cI\u2019ve always been fascinated with anime. It has always been a huge influence on me, especially with the John Wick\u00a0<\/em>series. To\u00a0have the opportunity to develop a John Wick <\/em>anime\u00a0seems to be the perfect progression for the John Wick<\/em> world. I feel John Wick<\/em> is the perfect property for this medium \u2014 anime holds the potential to expand our world, our characters and our action in ways unimaginable before.\u201d<\/p>\n
