De Armas revealed the collaboration in Elle . magazinesaid she wanted to be closely involved in the behind-the-scenes operation for “Ballerina,” which focuses on a vigil resembling Keanu Reeves’ character in the original film series.
“It was really important for me to hire a writer, because until that moment when I got involved in the project, it was none other than the director, Len Wiseman, and another young man. And I said, ‘That’s not going to work.’ So I met, say, five or six female writers. “We hired Emerald Fennell, which I was very proud of,” de Armas told the magazine.
“Ballerina” follows de Armas as a young killer who seeks revenge on those who murdered her family. Other than the vague logical line, any details about the film – including De Armas’ co-stars – have been kept confidential.

The event’s first three installments – the franchise’s revenge Heavy was a commercial success, grossing $587 million worldwide. The fifth entry is already under development.
