As well as Ballerina, it was announced that a TV series called The Continental was in the works.

This, however, was disputed by his family, who pointed to his physical fitness.
John Wick co-star Keanu Reeves paid tribute to the late great actor, saying: "We worked together on four films over ten years.
"He was a remarkable artist and a special person with grace and dignity.
"I guess what comes to mind right now is the first time that I met him and we worked together on John Wick, he had this idea for the way that he wanted the character to speak and just his enthusiasm and passion.
"The way that he and I got to work and kind of speak the unspoken, that connection. It's just really cool."
