From the very moment the tale ofJohn Wickand his quest for revenge hit the screens in 2014, there is an aspect of the movie series franchise that has always tried to maintain its class in the midst of all the carnage that always trailsthe Baba Yaga. This would be the grounds in New York upon which no business can be conducted on, The Continental Hotel. With the Baba Yaga’s story coming to an emotional and somewhat justifiable end with the conclusion ofJohn Wick: Chapter 4, fans who have not had enough of that universe can look forward to the arrival ofThe Continental, a spin-off television series that follows of the New York Continental. As we build up to the series, a new poster teases what you need to prepare for check-in at this prestigious establishment.
The new poster of theJohn Wickspin-off series teases hospitality while hinting at the ability to be deadly. A half full glass is set upon a table with a bullet sizzling within the drink itself. Besides the glass lies the only currency accepted at the hotel, a Gold Coin. The underworld business world upon which the Continental Hotel rests runs on a separate economy than the rest of the world. While thelatest Wick filmhas proven to be a success likethose before it, the economy of the underworld functions and quite successfully too, solely on these Gold Coins.
The Continentalwill focus on the establishment of this hotel in New York City, one in a chain of facilities across the world. As each hotel has a manager whose word is supreme within its grounds, the prequel will see feature a younger version of Winston Scott — portrayed byIan McShanein the film franchise — but played here byColin Woodell.Striking back in time to 70s New York, Winston’s quest to emerge top dog at this establishment will be under focus as will the hurdles he had to confront.
