The Wire star Lance Reddick has died aged 60 - just days after failing to turn up to a premiere in New York. Reddick - who played Cedric Daniels in the hit crime series - died from 'suddenly' and from natural causes,' his agent Mia Hansen said. 'Lance will be greatly missed. Please respect his family’s privacy at this time,' Hansen said in a statement. Tributes poured in for the 'incredibly talented' actor after his body was reportedly discovered in his home in Studio City, California at 9.30am on Friday. Just yesterday he uploaded a photo of himself curled up...

The first official trailer for the fourth instalment in Keanu Reeves' bloodthirsty revenge series John Wick has finally dropped. Following a landmark premiere at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), production house Lionsgate threw down the gauntlet again, unveiling a one-minute John Wick 4 teaser, complete with exotic locations, insane choreography and a plot that (presumably) isn't overly critical. With the film set to release in cinemas on 24 March, 2023, why change the formula, right?

Tell us if you've done this, come on fess up, you have at least one NERF gun in your home or office and have done the following when no one is watching: 'sliced the pie', hostage shots, body armor drills, quick-draw Doc Holliday trigger guard spins, open shirtless apex carry, look in the mirror and say 'you looking at me?', double tap on swimsuit model posters and long range "sniping". If you've done any of this you're a John Wick fan. Youtuber Corridor Digital did a three minutes of awesomeness a while back, substituting NERF guns for the real deal,...

TFB tries their hand at Out Shooting Keanu Reeves A while back BuzzFeed Youtuber stumbled across a video of Taran Tactical training Keanu Reeves on tactical shooting for the movie role John Wick. Buzzfeed tried their hands on gun shooting, they did ok (you can read about it below). Fast Forward to Now The Firearm Blog had heard what the Buzzfeed guys did so TFB decides, why not us?, But the differences is that TFB also wanted to create some shooting tips segments from Da Man himself "Taran Butler". So TFB flew down to L.A. to meet with Taran Butler...

We all love action movies and chances are you’ve probably seen the movie John Wick and maybe the sequel John Wick: Chapter 2 as well. The action in these movies are very cool to watch, the choreograph is well designed. The credit goes to Taran Butler, the man who trained Keanu Reeves to tactical shoot that looks impressive in the movie. We also learned that filming has begun on the third (final?) chapter in the series, and that got us thinking about the films, particularly the shooting techniques that were used in them. Now, for those of you who haven’t...

BuzzFeed Felt like they could Out Shoot Keanu Reeves When Keanu Reeves was training to be John Wick, he had to learn to shoot. To do that, he spent quite a bit of time out in California at Taran Tactical working on learning to shoot the 3-gun competition. In the end he completed a 3-gun course of fire in 19 seconds. The guys from Buzzfeed saw this and decided they wanted to try to beat the time. Well they weren't as fast as John Wick, but good effort for spending one whole day practicing and shooting the 3-gun competition for...
