EXCLUSIVE:Peacockis touting the success ofThe Continental: From the World of John Wick.
I think that because it takes place in the 70s, its quite easy to [balance].
It was a different flavor back then, so I feel more comfortable.

I would not if it was modern day, director Albert Hughes told Deadline.
He continued: Its more mysterious and enigmatic.
Youll never see a long, drawn out dialogue scene in most of theJohn Wickfilms.
So in TV, its slightly different, especially in long form.
You have to tell a story and introduce new characters.
So theres a good challenge in that.
And then you have to weave in the action.
So youre servicing the fans, the old ones and the new ones hopefully.
Some of those influences are obvious, like the heroic bloodshed genre of Hong Kong action cinema.
All that stuff is subconscious, he explained.
I think people take for granted that with age, this memory bank back here is constantly working.
The Continentalis currently streaming on Peacock.
