Elton John<\/strong>‘s “Tiny Dancer” is about a woman who hangs around with musicians \u2014\u00a0Bernie Taupin<\/strong> has said it was about his wife at the time. But now the classic tune has been used to soundtrack the trailer for a movie about a woman who hangs around with guns, knives and anything else you can use to kill someone in gnarly fashion.<\/p>\n

The movie is <\/em>From the World of John Wick: Ballerina<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> a spin-off of the Keanu Reeves<\/strong> action movies. It starts with a young girl listening to a music box, which features a ballerina spinning to an instrumental version of “Tiny Dancer.” We then see that young girl, now bloodied and beaten, led away by John Wick<\/em> star Ian McShane<\/strong>, who promises to take her to a school where they “teach dancers.”<\/p>\n

Except, it’s not exactly a ballet school. It’s a school for assassins. We see the little girl, Eve, played as a grown woman by Ana de Armas<\/strong>, undergoing training in various deadly arts. As we hear Elton’s song \u2014 with its line “Ballerina, you must’ve seen her” \u2014 she interacts with other fixtures of the John Wick<\/em> universe, including the Continental Hotel, its concierge, Charon, and McShane’s character, Winston.<\/p>\n

Then, there’s a lot<\/em> of killing, as Eve dispatches various opponents with firearms, a flamethrower, knives and even an ice skate. At the end, she comes face to face with John Wick himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ballerina\u00a0<\/em>comes out in 2025.<\/p>\n
