Action movie lovers have a special reason to thank Eva Longoria for the success of one of the most famous franchises of all time, “John Wick.”

Eva Longoria saved "John Wick" from shutting down by providing $6 million in funding.

Keanu Reeves is back with the fourth chapter of his megahit gun-frenzy franchise "John Wick" next week. He sees its expertly coordinated action scenes as "almost ballet."

"It was always a dream of mine to act in Paris, and to be back was amazing," the jovial 58-year-old film star told AFP on a recent trip to the French capital.
