EX4 In The Time Of Corona

It's been a while, well since the Corona Lockdown...

We are now living in an alternate universe where movies may not get made again any time soon. And then there is EX4 which I believe will not be made any more unless a miracle vaccine shows up in a few months and puts an end to COVID-19. Otherwise given the current circumstances (the huge production line-ups, Covid restrictions, Sly being older, scheduling conflicts, etc), EX4 has a very little chance of being made any time soon or ever.

All that being said, for fans who are still remaining optimistic and hopeful, Avi was actually planning to start filming EX4 in May this year but things got derailed due to COVID-19. 

According to this interview he gave back in January at a tiny film festival, he confirms very assertively that EX4 was definitely moving ahead in May. This was in January and then we entered a parallel universe in March where EX4 doesn't exist anymore. 

But don't lose your optimism since a Spanish distributor has even gone as far as publishing EX4 on their website of upcoming films in 2022!! They probably know more than we do, right? Didn't a German distributor announce EX4 like 2-3 years ago and made it sound like a done deal, hmmm.

Patrick Hughes back to directing with the core cast of EX3 (Sly, Statham, Banderas & Lundgren). Avi must have a secret studio under earth where you can make an action movie isolated from the Coronavirus. You never know, this guy has always had a few tricks under his sleeves. Until then, stay safe and healthy.
