John Wick Director Chad Stahelski Unveils New Action Thriller 'The Professionals'

Action movie fans, get ready for a wild ride! Chad Stahelski, the mastermind behind the "John Wick" series, is cooking up something exciting. His new film, "The Professionals," promises to be a heart-pounding mix of action and mystery that'll keep you on the edge of your seat.

What's the Buzz About?

Imagine "John Wick" and the classic whodunit "Clue" had a baby. That's "The Professionals" in a nutshell. This action-packed thriller follows a group of hitmen trapped in a fancy British countryside mansion. When one of them turns up dead, it's a race against time to solve the murder before they all end up six feet under.

Lionsgate, the studio that brought us "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight," snapped up this hot property faster than you can say "action!" They clearly know a good thing when they see it.

The Dream Team Behind the Scenes

Chad Stahelski isn't just directing – he's also producing the film through his company 87Eleven Entertainment. He's teaming up with some seriously talented folks:

Hunter Perot (yep, related to that Ross Perot) kicked things off with the first draft of the script.

Madison Turner, a former stuntwoman turned writer, is polishing up the screenplay. Fun fact: Her dad, Tierre Turner, was a stuntman on "Training Day" and now works on the TV show "9-1-1." Talk about keeping it in the family!

Alex Young and Jason Spitz from 87Eleven Entertainment are joining Stahelski as producers.

Jason Michael Berman and Jordan Moldo from Mandalay Pictures, who came up with the original idea, are also on board.

What Else Is Cooking in Stahelski's Kitchen?

Chad Stahelski's plate is full of mouthwatering projects:

A "Highlander" reboot starring Henry Cavill (Superman himself!)

A movie based on the hit video game "Ghost of Tsushima"

An adaptation of Tom Clancy's "Rainbow Six"

"Ballerina," a spin-off from the "John Wick" universe starring Ana de Armas (with a cameo from Keanu Reeves, of course)

When Can We Watch "The Professionals"?

Hold your horses, folks! We don't have an exact release date yet, and the cast is still under wraps. But word on the street is that things are moving fast. Lionsgate's James Myers is overseeing the project, while Bonnie Stylides is handling all the deal-making.
