They Shouldn't Have Killed His Dog by Edward Gross
In They Shouldn’t Have Killed His Dog: The Complete Uncensored Ass-Kicking Oral History of John Wick, Gun-Fu and The New Age of Action, bestselling authors Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross take you behind the scenes of a franchise that includes three films with two more sequels and a television series - The Continental - on the way, while exploring the action classics that led to John Wick as well as the films it inspired, like Atomic Blonde. They bring you right into the middle of the action of the John Wick films, detailing how the seemingly impossible was achieved through exclusive interviews with the cast, writers, directors, producers, stuntmen, fight choreographers, cinematographers, studio executives, editors, critics, and more. Together, they break down key action sequences while also providing a look back at the road the action genre has taken that led to John Wick, and a look at the character itself, an anti-hero who carries on the grand tradition of Clint Eastwood’s Man with No Name, but with a twist - and a never-ending supply of ammo - while showcasing the enduring appeal of the action movie as well as John Wick’s unique reinvention of the genre.
EDWARD GROSS has an extensive history covering film and television as a member of the editorial staff of a wide variety of magazines. He has written and co-written over three dozen non-fiction books. MARK A. ALTMAN is a television showrunner and motion picture writer/producer who is executive producer of the hit sci-fi series, Pandora. Previously he served as Co-Executive Producer of The Librarians, Agent X, Castle, and Necessary Roughness, among others.
