Thus, the ARRI Mini LFs were utilized mainly for those sequences. For instance, a dedicated complex and impressive rig of Mini LF cameras was built to shoot car chases. Laustsen shot with the ARRI ALEXA LF and cameras, while the Mini version was applied for certain action shots. The movie aims to be screened on the huge canvas, hence, certified IMAX cameras were utilized, as a part of the ‘ Film for IMAX’ program. One of the reasons is to distinguish this chapter from previous chapters and to allow optimal IMAX screening.

Filming took place at Luxembourg Gardens and the Church of St. Several French crew, including the Location Manager, described filming in Paris as “hell” due to a two-week delay filming in Germany, Stahelski had less time to scout Paris and would improvise and change locations last minute.

The movie is the sequel to John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) and the fourth installment in the John Wick franchise.
