Anjelica Huston is set to return to the world of ‘John Wick’ in the forthcoming spin-off in the franchise, ‘Ballerina.’
Huston is reprising her role as The Director, and the head of the Ruska Roma crime organization. She first appeared in ‘John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum’ and joins fellow returnee, Ian McShane, as Winston.
The story will revolve around Ana de Armas’ young female assassin who seeks revenge against those who killed her family. Any additional plot details remain under lock and key, but producer Basil Iwanyk described McShane’s role as “pivotal.” It’s not clear how Reeves, should his deal close, will fit into the story.

“The idea of Ballerina was formed around the scenes with Anjelica in John Wick 3,” said producer Erica Lee, “Anjelica Huston is an icon and is nothing less than Hollywood royalty.

Throughout the month of December, we will be highlighting a film a day that has some tie into the holiday somehow. Some titles will be obvious, others won’t be. Some films will be good and, again, others won’t be. However, we think all titles are worth your time whether to give you chills inside your home or to make you drink more eggnog until you puke laughing.
When Ted (James Fitzgibbons) comes home for Christmas he brings his new girlfriend Sarah (Claudia Peyton) with him. His sister and mom’s boyfriend seem to like her, but his mom (Helen Benton) stops dead in her tracks when they meet. Cathy has a gift, she’s able to read minds. To help control her ability, Cathy spends a lot of time painting. And something about Sarah has given her the chills. Cathy’s reaction has cast a pall on the Yuletide season.

Christmas is a time for feel-good movies. It’s a Wonderful Life, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and the usual Hallmark Hall of Fame drivel that hits the airwaves every December. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the mainstream Christmas classics as much as the next guy. But at night, when my family is all snug in their beds, that’s when I drag out my sick and twisted Christmas collection…
Black Christmas, Christmas Evil, Silent Night Deadly Night, Don’t Open Till Christmas, those are the films I like to cuddle up to with a spiked eggnog. What is my favorite? That’s a difficult question. I love them all for different reasons, but if I had to pick one, I would have to pick a recent import from Finland called Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. A modern mashup of The Thing and the Krampus mythology, it is...
