Eva Longoria played a crucial role in the production of 'John Wick' by investing $6 million to prevent the film from shutting down. The director, Chad Stahelski, revealed that the production was facing a significant funding gap just days before filming was set to begin. Longoria's investment came less than 24 hours before the project was at risk of collapse, with Stahelski noting that they had lost almost $6 million due to a previous investor's withdrawal. Longoria expressed her satisfaction with the decision, stating it was 'the best money' she had ever spent on a project. Her involvement as a producer has surprised some fans, but it ultimately ensured the continuation of the iconic action franchise.
