Lionsgate Drops Trailer for Wick is Pain, a Deep-Dive Documentary on the John Wick Phenomenon

Lionsgate has unveiled the official trailer for Wick is Pain, a gripping new documentary directed by Jeffrey Doe that explores the untold story behind the making—and near unmaking—of the John Wick franchise. Slated for release on May 9, 2025, the film goes beyond the gun-fu and neon-drenched mayhem to reveal the blood, sweat, and sacrifice that turned a modest action project into a billion-dollar global phenomenon.

 

Wick is Pain features in-depth interviews with Keanu Reeves, director Chad Stahelski, screenwriter Derek Kolstad, and numerous other key creatives and cast members. Through never-before-seen footage captured over more than a decade—both on set and behind the scenes—the film chronicles John Wick’s improbable rise. From its scrappy beginnings as an independent action film grappling with creative and financial hurdles, to its transformation into a genre-defining cultural juggernaut, the documentary offers a raw, intimate look at what it took to make cinematic history.

 

The trailer teases moments of triumph and tension, creative risks, brutal choreography, and the bond between a lead actor and his character that transcended the screen. Fans can expect candid reflections from Reeves and the team, as well as a celebration of how passion, perseverance, and pain fueled one of the most iconic action sagas of the 21st century.

 

Whether you're a die-hard John Wick fan or fascinated by behind-the-scenes Hollywood tales, Wick is Pain promises to deliver an emotional, revealing ride through the making of a franchise that nearly didn’t make it off the ground—yet somehow changed everything. Mark your calendars: Wick is Pain hits theaters and streaming on May 9, 2025.
