We can thank Eva Longoria for one of the highest-grossing movie franchises of the last decade. In a recent interview for the movie’s 10th anniversary, the producers of John Wick revealed how Longoria came through when they lost nearly $6 million in financing for the first in the four-film franchise. “We were less than a week out, and we lost almost $6 million on a gap financing,” said Chad Stahelski. “We were financing independently to get the bond, but one of the investors couldn’t raise the money in time.” As CAA was pulling together the funding, they offered some of their own actors the opportunity to invest. In return, they would be the first to get paid back. The deal ultimately resulted in Longoria’s first major producer credit. “She came to the rescue, and she provided the gap financing, literally less than 24 hours before we had to lock the doors on the movie and walk away,” added Stahelski.
