'John Wick' screenwriter reveals original title of Keanu Reeves film

Filmmaker changed John Wick's original title after Keanu Reeves kept referring to the film by the wrong title.

Derek Kolstad, the screenwriter of the popular franchise, revealed during an interview with comicbook.com that the film's director changed the name after Keanu kept referring to it by the wrong title.

Derek revealed that the movie's original title during the development phase was Scorn.

"The only reason it's called John Wick is that Keanu kept referring it as John Wick," he said.

"Marketing was like, 'Dude, that's four to five million dollars in free advertising so far, so it's John Wick instead of Scorn,'" he added.
