Yes the rumors are true. In fact, rumors that began circulating today was news that already broken a year ago by Time Out New York, who conducted an in-depth interview with writer Peter Iliff. This time around, Iliff is slated to both write and direct the sequel.
Time Out NY: “Why remake Point Break? It’s been 17 years.”
Peter Iliff: “What’s interesting is that because so much time has gone by, we’re not necessarily making a sequel. We’re making another movie, but we’re following the character of the first film, Bodhi. His mates were all killed, and he had a choice: you can go to jail or you can have an honorable death of suicide by wave. And, of course, he survives. And he would flee off the grid to somewhere like Indonesia, which is the last frontier of surfing, and he would create a life here.”
Time Out NY: “He survived that perfect storm?”
Peter Iliff: “In truth, only Mark Foo has been killed in big-wave surfing, and it’s probably because his leash held him down. Guys do survive these waves quite often. So what’s interesting is to follow the story of someone who’s set up a new life here, who resumes criminal activities and thus invites attention. This character would now have a family; he would have a stepson who would be a major Indonesian character. There’ll be a new love interest, who’ll be Asian, and coming after this guy would be a new Hollywood character. I don’t want to give it away but it ends very much the same way.”
NEW MILFORD — At least for one day, Jillian Alps felt like a star.
The general manager of the Heritage Inn on Bridge Street played hostess to film stars Keanu Reeves, Alan Arkin, Winona Ryder and Robin Wright Penn on Monday when scenes from the movie “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee” were filmed in town.
The film crew rented four of the property’s 20 guest rooms for the day so the actors and actresses could relax between takes. All gave autographs and were gracious with the staff, said Alps, who couldn’t pass up getting her picture taken with Reeves.
“He was more than happy to sit down with us,” she said, describing him as “easy going,” “low key” and a “nice guy.” “As soon as they walked in the door they shook hands. We had breakfast waiting.”
It was the second time the bed and breakfast, a former tobacco warehouse and feed and grain store listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has hosted a movie crew. Last year producers and actors with “The Six Wives of Henry Lefay” stayed at the property during shooting in town. Read more… »
I know Keanu is uncredited in the 1993 movie Freaked, and yes you do not recognize him in that costume, but I made caps anyway. See all 38 screencaptures of Ortiz the Dog Boy in the gallery:
Keanu continue promoting his new movie “Street Kings”. He attented last April 15th a premiere in Sidney, Australia. I added pictures from the premiere, and also pics from Keanu arriving in Melbourne, April 12th. And there’s, too, pictures from Keanu in NY’s Rockfeller Center, after his participation in NBC’s Today Show. Enjoy!
As I announced earlier, Keanu was a guest at the tonight show with Jay Leno last thursday, I made a few screencaptures from his appearance and you can find them in the gallery:
For those of you who missed it, for whatever reason, DON’T WORRY I made a video clip from the interview and posted it in the video archive (along with two clips from his appearance on jay leno 5 years ago).
Keanu Reeves has starred in big sci-fi thrillers like The Matrix and Constantine, even romantic dramas like Sweet November and The Lake House.
So what hasn’t Keanu accomplished in his career that he’d love to do? Musicals!
“I’d like to sing and dance, like in a musical,” Keanu, 43, told Live with Regis and Kelly on Wednesday. “I’ve always wanted to do a romance where you talk, and then sing.”
Mr. Reeves then pretended to act out a love scene with co-host Kelly Ripa. Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, who was filling in for Regis Philbin, sat idly by as Keanu and Kelly professed their love for one another.
I apologize for my absence these last few months, I never intended to stay away for so long, so to make up for my absence I made a few updates. First I made a few (MQ) screencaptures from the movie: Parenthood (1989):
I also added a few new videos in the video archive, a lot of movie trailers (including one of the new street kings) and a couple of interviews of Keanu on the red carpet:
I also wanted to inform everyone of a few ‘appearances’ Keanu will be doing on television:
- The Making of Street Kings on HBOe (April 7, April 9, April 15, April 18)
- NBC’s Today on NBC (April 9)
- Live with Regis and Kelly (April 9)
- Tonight Show With Jay Leno on NBC (April 10)
So make sure you don’t miss it.
