You can get away with a lot in Hollywood, but feeding a puppy laxatives is way beyond the pale.

You can get away with a lot in Hollywood, but feeding a puppy laxatives is considered way beyond the pale.
And yeah, we get it. That’s straight-up animal abuse and would never fly with the American Human Association. So what do you do when you absolutely need to show a creature defecating onscreen? Well, you turn to CGI, of course, though the resultant digital imagery may end up taking a crap-load (pun intended) out of your overall production budget. Okay, maybe not a crap-load, but just roll with the joke.
Why the first John Wick movie spent around $5,000 on CGI dog poop
In the commentary track for the original John Wick movie, director Chad Stahelski and co-director/producer David Leitch reveal that the turd dropped by John’s ill-fated beagle puppy, Daisy — may she Rest In Peace — was entirely brought to life with VFX and cost around $5,000. That’s one expensive deuce!
“They wouldn’t let us give laxatives to the puppy,” Stahelski says (our astute colleagues over at /FILM were first to point this out this fun bit of fecal trivia).
The John Wick saga officially continues Sep. 22 when the first episode of The Continental limited series drops onto Peacock. Episodes 2 and 3 are slated to premiere on Sep. 29 and Oct. 6, respectively.
Serving as a prequel to the hit blockbuster films, the show explores how a young Winston Scott (played by Colin Woodell) took control of the assassin-centric hotel in ’70s-era New York.
