This week in theaters is Henry’s Crime, a sweet, cops and robbers film, with a bit of a romantic -omedy edge hits theaters with Keanu Reeves and Vera Farmiga. All I can say is that if you can find it, you should see it. It’s a sweet film, with a lot of interesting twists that gives it, it’s own edge in the sea of mundane cinema.
Well, dudes, those who have been waiting the long 20 years (good lord, it’s really been that long) to see what the future holds in store for William “Bill” S. Preston, Esq and Ted “Theodore” Logan might not have to wait much longer—according to Keanu Reeves, the Bill and Ted 3 script that you’ve been clamoring for is about six weeks away from completion.
Do you remember hearing about Keanu Reeves starring in an epic Asian drama? You don’t? Does the name 47 Ronin sound familiar to you? Still nothing? OK, here’s the deal: a couple years ago Reeves started developing a feature film based on a famous story about a group of Japanese samurais. The project went through its fair share of pitfalls but the actor has stayed on board and according to Variety, the film is picking up speed.
***Update: This news has been reported as false. According to The Playlist, Reeves reps have denied the following statements by the actor. Therefore, we can chalk this one up to being another hoax.***
Over the past few years, we’ve seen our fair share of unexpected sequels. Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, Live Free or Die Hard, and Rocky Balboa are just a few films that have gone where other franchises wouldn’t dare go. They all went past the trilogy mark, and now we’re hearing reports that another popular film series could follow in their footsteps. Are you interested in seeing The Matrix Part 4 and 5?
The first trailer has been released for Keanu Reeves’ dark comedy Henry’s Crime. The film centers on a robbery and prison but it’s a lot lighter than we thought it would be. There’s an unsuspecting romance thrown into the plot. Besides Reeves, the film features performances by Oscar nominees Vera Farmiga and James Caan, who plays the typical veteran crook role. Check out the trailer…
We’ve got news that another 3D film is headed our way. Are you excited because we’re not! According to Universal Pictures the developing Carl Erik Rinsch’s film 47 Ronin will be produced and released in 3D. If you’re asking yourself what the hell is 47 Ronin, it’s a samurai flick that has Neo — we mean Keanu Reeves attached to star.
Rumors regarding a third installment of the cult favorite Bill & Ted always rear their ugly head every few years, and this time they’re fueled by Keanu Reeves. The two films entitled Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey shot Reeves into the limelight and made him a star. Over 20 years later the actor confesses that he’s interested in getting the cast back together for one last mid-life crisis hurrah.
Keanu Reeves will once again tackle the sci-fi genre with his latest film, Passengers. Back in January there were rumors that the actor would star in the Gabriele Muccino directed feature and according to THR, it’s been confirmed that he will headline the epic that’s being described as “Adam & Eve in Space.”
Have you ever watched a movie and thought to yourself, how the hell did this person get cast? Hollywood is full of successful actors and actresses who’ve made a steady living off of their “craft,” and by craft I mean the ability to bullshit their way into films. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of aspiring Sean Penns out there, but for every one there are three Ashton Kutchers. For every young Meryl Streep there are five Megan Foxs and it’s been like that since the beginning of time.
