Eva Longoria Quietly Invested $6 Million In ‘John Wick’ When Funding Fell Through


Marking the franchise's 10th anniversary, the producers of 'John Wick' (2014) revealed how Eva Longoria came through in the 11th hour.

In a recent interview for the movie’s 10th anniversary, the producers of John Wick revealed how the Golden Globe nominee came through when they lost nearly $6 million in financing for the first in the four-film franchise. “She came to the rescue, and she provided the gap financing, literally less than 24 hours before we had to lock the doors on the movie and walk away,” added Stahelski. Having never met the Desperate Housewives alum, Leitch and Stahelski then took Longoria to lunch at the Chateau Marmont.
