00:00Eva Longoria rescued the John Wick movie franchise when it was on the brink of shutting down for good.
00:04The production ran out of money in the middle of shooting the first John Wick movie in the series.
00:08Both directors and Keanu Reeves had already put in everything to finance the movie before Longoria stepped in.
00:13She revived the production with a $6 million investment and in exchange she received a guarantee that she'd be among the first investors to get paid back, according to Business Insider.
00:22And the investment ended up paying handsomely for Longoria.
00:25While the exact details of her deal aren't known, John Wick grossed $87 million at the global box office.
00:31And the movie's directors didn't even find out until after they finished filming that their mystery savior was Longoria.
