Movies News Talk
Turns out, Eva Longoria is low-key a financial wizard! Did you know she saved "John Wick" from total disaster with a $6 million investment?! Now she gets her share 10 whole years onward! Seriously!!. Talk about awesome movie investments by Eva.
Longoria shared during a recent "Business Insider" appearance on how during early acting times "someone with similar acting social group (but “not-my actual manager either though" pitched an investment to try get further film work connections by making herself become seen as some Hollywood insider investor.. It became even better however upon revisiting the present time results by Longoria that ended becoming worth even more!. Her bet wasn't about economic gains nor did their names Keanu nor “stunt performer-now movie directors” either fully assure any chance at actual profit. Rather it got ultimately prompted entirely because her personal belief within those two individual creatives after reviewing their prior film-works too plus seeing now through working further their combined effort towards making one successful blockbuster too! And it succeeded massively which became very impressive from one correctly “calculated trust gamble rather than solely economics.”
This $6 million dollars saved production which made possible future John Wick rather than becoming forgotten too early. Longoria basically jumped right ahead into movie business. Rather it showed another facet about film “investing side.
As an investor herself “during movie start!” Eva gained incredible experience about that “industry business,” part! Although “only a single venture rather than continuously. But even Longoria still shocked herself once learning all profits totalled way more than original movie loan after checking "bank info which ended way beyond 2x returns too. Amazing movie investor debut, rather than anything else now either. Plus it gives cool "bragging rights whenever amongst future actor-groups also,” where Hollywood investor success never seems truly stale.
Now Eva’s super friendly also! whenever nearby fellow Hollywood bigwigs Keanu or “Wick-co-directors which even involves one special encounter across some recent “artsy social circle event.” Longoria met one of those individuals Keanu through artist and Reeves girlfriend Alexandra also where they all discussed making some future celebratory dinner regarding "wick tenth" since "those movies changed much also!” from those original investments since now there even plans already being made with production discussions which would celebrate long-lived cultural impact across various fanbases plus giving shoutout from Eva and co.
It ultimately helped spawn “three other huge action films totaling over 1$ billion profit from a 6-million bootstrap that wouldn’t happen at all nor even the others otherwise.. So as for a one single chance-at bat! That gamble paid MASSIVE DIVIDENDS for many folks by one, bold financial maneuver to jump ahead after just hearing rather how enthusiastic each was on bringing forward this original movie vision.. “Smart movie investments definitely, rather than random also in those initial risk/reward potential.
Longoria wasn't sure also. Since prior investments got very successful without any direct Hollywood-related backing before her one day call for support from an actual, "film work manager person (which “wasn’t “my manager either either rather just social friend, across actor groups).
It initially sparked skepticism given the large 6,000,000$ loan without guarantee plus needing those back plus any extras across original request!. Thus after questioning also with other more experienced acting people Longoria had some misgivings. She ultimately agreed only later once hearing more thoroughly rather across prior project/films too with various production crews plus similar individuals that also gave belief within them too alongside their obvious current “investment commitment also into themselves.. Ultimately for many the loan made enough sense..
Despite her incredible movie “investor-starter success”. Eva's biggest sadness? Never receiving producer roles throughout sequel franchise after initially joining Wick too late within production since their budget requirements were already complete when coming “too-little too late” for Longoria as the co-founder in helping raise enough money rather quickly to become directly producer/staffing related. Its unfortunate also.
Longoria still has much profit also through royalties still even recently since "Wick initial" gets frequent view also when looking all films amongst series also for having that role alongside “saving first movie." Rather if Longoria never financed any Wicks likely never get sequel as most people “agree here at least currently from having enough direct exposure as Hollywood business owners or “just fans” within production either.
