Eva Longoria Saves John Wick Franchise

Eva Longoria played a crucial role in rescuing the original 'John Wick' film from financial collapse just days before production was set to begin. When the project faced a $6 million funding shortfall due to an investor's inability to raise the necessary funds, Longoria stepped in and provided the financing needed to keep the film alive. This intervention not only allowed 'John Wick' to be produced but also marked the beginning of Longoria's successful career as a producer. The film went on to become a major box office hit and has since launched a successful franchise, with sequels and spin-offs. Directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch expressed their gratitude, noting that Longoria’s timely support was instrumental to the project's success. Recently, Longoria was honored with the National Medal of Arts and Humanities for her contributions to the arts.
