EXCLUSIVE: In what can be her characteristic movie appearing debut, Japanese-British pop celebrity Rina Sawayama is about to star alongside Keanu Reeves in Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 4. They're conserving her function beneath wraps, and the movie is being directed by Chad Stahelski from script by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch.
Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Stahelski are producing, with Reeves and Louise Rosner the manager producers. The challenge begins manufacturing this summer time capturing on location in France, Germany and Japan.
“I’m so glad to have Rina on board to make her feature film debut in John Wick: Chapter 4,” Stahelski stated. “She’s an incredible talent who’ll bring so much to the film.”
Born in Japan and raised in North London, Sawayama got here to pop stardom from Cambridge College the place she studied politics, psychology and sociology. She funded her early music via proceeds from modeling, earlier than signing a file deal. Consideration grabbing singles XS, Comme des Garçons, and Chosen Household (the latter a duet with Elton John), led to the discharge of the deluxe version launch Sawayama. She's going to headline her first world tour later this 12 months.
Rina Sawayama is repped by Scott Melrose at Paradigm, Tom Windish at Wasserman Music, Will Frost & Caspar Harvey at Home of Us, Tom Mehrtens & Mofe Sey at Satellite414, and Emily Mullen at Orienteer.
