Spielberg who has done films in almost every genre, had the opportunity to work with Hanks in the comic book space when he was offered to Max Allan Collins‘ graphic novel, Road To Perdition. The director who was impressed with the idea, unfortunately could not commit to it owing to a busy schedule of films under his belt.

Whoever comes, whoever it is…I’ll tilt them. I’ll tilt them all…We all know that Keanu Reeves is one of the most chill, down-to-earth guys in the movie business, and he just renewed that license in one of the nerdiest ways possible, taking time out of his schedule to play the John Wick pinball machine at the San Diego Comic-Con.
The video, posted across Stern’s social media accounts, sees Keanu Reeves saddling up to the John Wick pinball machine at the company’s booth, which also featured Jaws, the 70th Anniversary Premium Edition of Godzilla and more. Reeves looks genuinely interested in the game and proves to be inquisitive throughout his free play, asking the team how much time it took to design the John Wick machine, to which the rep confirmed the time frame was around two years. He also said that 48 minutes of music was used.

With Marvel Studios’ MCU being at the peak in the superhero genre, the franchise has adorned several acclaimed Hollywood stars, including Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey Jr. However, the departure of these stars from their iconic roles as Wolverine and Iron Man signaled a significant shift in the genre, as the golden era of superhero films started to wane.

Keanu Reeves couldn’t be more thankful for the sci-fi mind-bender that made him an icon. The pensive action star was visibly emotional when, during an appearance Tuesday on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, he was asked to share his fondest memory from various productions — and Colbert inquired about The Matrix on its 25th anniversary. After an earnest pause that Colbert joked could be a commercial break, Reeves opened up. The Matrix changed my life, the actor confessed. And then, over these years, it’s changed so many other people’s lives in really positive and great ways. As an artist,...

The Harry Potter film series, starring Daniel Radcliffe, has a massive fan following among modern pop culture enthusiasts. All the eight movies in the franchise, based on the works of J.K. Rowling, went massive at the box office. Interestingly, despite such a success, the films could never do anything significant at the Academy Awards.

When a movie enters the post-production stage, a lot of changes can happen that make the film unrecognizable. Plot points can be added or removed, and that is when the film truly begins to take shape. This can also involve cutting out entire characters for the sake of making the film better. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened to Michelle Monaghan in Constantine.

The 2005 film, starring Keanu Reeves, was certainly iconic in many ways. However, there was one key element that the producers ended up cutting out in post-production; Monaghan’s character. While this change was done internally and helped give the film the theme they were looking for, fans cannot help but be upset that it was done at the expense of the actress.

For an acting career that started with 1985’s Witness, the 65-year-old Viggo Mortensen has truly come a long way. With a series of star-studded roles trailing right behind him to remind everyone of the legacy he has led so far like as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings saga, he is easily one of the most commended and respected celebrities in the entertainment industry.

But despite having scored some of the best roles of all time, Mortensen also felt gutted over some roles that ended up choosing other actors over him. Like 1986’s classic action-war masterpiece Platoon, which originally cast him before switching over to Willem Dafoe to replace him — the same film that Keanu Reeves also turned down for being a bit too violent for him.

Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine for over 24 years since the first X-Men film. The actor was not even the first choice for the role but he made the role iconic and eventually became one of the greatest superhero castings ever. Deadpool & Wolverine will be the 10th time that Jackman will be playing the character.

Keanu Reeves is pausing — if not quite pausing time in bullet-time style — to reflect on the legacy of “The Matrix.”
The iconic sci-fi film celebrates its 25th anniversary, and Reeves appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in part to revisit how much “The Matrix” means to audiences.
“‘The Matrix’ changed my life, and then over these years, it’s changed so many other people’s lives in really positive and great ways,” Reeves said. “As an artist, you hope for that when you get to do a film or tell a story.”
He explained, “So when you say these years, the amount of people that I have met who have said to me and been touched by ‘The Matrix’ in such a positive way…It’s the best.”

Good news for Constantine fans! Keanu Reeves, the star of the original 2005 movie, recently gave us some hope about a possible sequel.
When Keanu was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he opened up about Constantine 2. He said things are really moving forward with the project after years of maybes. “It went from ‘no’ to ‘maybe’ and now it’s more of a ‘kinda yes’,” Keanu told Colbert.
The best part is they have a script in the works right now. This means Constantine 2 isn’t just an idea anymore – it’s actually in development! That’s pretty cool since the first movie had mixed reviews and it’s been a long time since 2005.
In Constantine, Keanu plays John Constantine. He’s a detective who can see and talk to half-angels and half-demons. Even though some critics didn’t like it, the movie has a big fan base today.

The Speed actor played a computer programmer named Neo who fights a dystopian war against machines in a virtual world. The Matrix and its sequels went on to become pioneers in the sci-fi genre, while also making Reeves one of the most bankable and successful action stars in the industry.

Zack Snyder is gearing up to release his Director’s Cut of Rebel Moon, which has gotten fans asking why was there a need for the original version at all. Widely panned by critics, the Rebel Moon duology, which Snyder intends to make as big as its inspiration, Star Wars, has its dedicated fan base, but there is hope that this new iteration of the film will help the IP win some fans who were unimpressed by the previous entries.

A day after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, the host behind “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” spent part of his Monday night episode’s opening monologue recounting Biden’s accomplishments in office.
“I believe he has been a great president,” Colbert told his audience. “He steered this country out of a horrific pandemic. He saved countless lives by encouraging people to get vaccinated. He brought the economy back. He rallied our allies, he reasserted America’s place in the world stage, and most inspiring of all, at no time was he Donald Trump. Inspiring.”
Colbert said he was going to miss Biden — and noted that “on this very program right over there on September 10, 2015, I encouraged then-Vice President Biden to run. He ignored me for five years, and then he did it!”
Colbert then announced that he has retired his pair of Biden-style aviator sunglasses,...

Keanu Reeves starred in one of the most important films of the 21st Century The Matrix. The sci-fi film redefined pop culture and brought in several elements of philosophy into the mainstream. Reeves’ role as Neo became a staple in pop culture and remains one of his most popular characters to date.
Other elements from the film have also far outlived the franchise itself. Terms such as ‘red pill’, ‘the matrix’, and ‘free the mind’ have entered the general conversation as well as in political agendas. Reeves was reportedly not too happy with the way they were used in the present day.

Keanu Reeves Opens Up About Matrix Movies “Red Pill” Metaphor. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
In a recent interview with the Guardian, Keanu Reeves shared his thoughts on the Matrix movies’ metaphors twisted by the Alt-Right to fuel distrust of government and media.
Keanu Reeves (Neo) starred in The Matrix, in which he uncovers humanity lost in a war with machines they created long ago and is now living in a computer simulation created to enslave them. He then joins members of the human resistance against the Machines in the real world.
One of the most iconic scenes in the film sees Morpheus (a member of the human resistance) offer Neo the choice of a blue pill or a red pill. Neo can pop the blue pill and return to life blissfully unaware of the matrix, the simulated world. Or take the red pill, accept reality, and rise against the tyranny of the machines.

In an homage to The Matrix’s revolutionary impact on cinema, the original live-action X-Men film opted for an out from the vibrant comic book aesthetic, instead embracing a sleek and utilitarian black leather ensemble for its characters. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige credited The Matrix’s influence.

However, fans now have raised debates about Wesley Snipes’ Blade franchise, which showcased a sleek black leather ensemble way before The Matrix. Despite this, Keanu Reeves’ iconic film series is often credited with popularizing the look. Here’s why!

The Matrix aka one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time is a groundbreaking classic that blew everyone’s minds with a trip to a world where everything makes you question reality. One of the best parts about the film is its wild action sequences that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. However, it was not an easy task to achieve such perfection.
The Matrix (1999) | Warner Bros.
Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Hugo Weaving had to go through a grueling training regimen to make sure that they would be able to execute the fight scenes perfectly and do justice to them. Of course, anyone who has seen the film knows that the training paid off well but it sure did take a toll on the actors including Hugo Weaving who revealed that their training went on for about six months.

Gus Van Sant is a fiercely individual voice with one foot in the independent world and another in the studio system, Van Sant’s filmography varies wildly from mainstream entertainments to peculiar experiments, from sublime highs to extreme lows. Let’s take a look at all 17 of his films, ranked worst to best.
Born in 1952 in Louisville, Kentucky, Van Sant kicked off his filmmaking career with the micro-budget, black-and-white “Mala Noche” (1985), a major preamble to the New Queer Cinema. His next feature, “Drugstore Cowboy” (1989), firmly established him as an indie maverick, a reputation he would fulfill with his followup, the River Phoenix/Keanu Reeves road movie “My Own Private Idaho” (1991). He dipped his toes into studio filmmaking with the gleefully dark satire “To Die For” (1995), which won Nicole Kidman a Golden Globe as Best Comedy/Musical Actress.

What happens when a Hollywood actor and Sf author join forces on a novel? The pair talk about their literary bromance – and their quest to turn Reeves’s comic book series into something deeper
Keanu Reeves has a reputation to maintain as one of the nicest, humblest guys on the Hollywood A-list, and maintain it he does. Grizzled of beard, spiky of hair, in a V-neck T-shirt under a dark suit teamed, oddly, with chunky brown hiking boots, it’s Reeves – rather than the anticipated team of flunkies – who sets about moving side tables and pouring everyone glasses of water as we begin our interview in a suite in a Fitzrovia hotel.

Chappell Roan is revealing why she’s actively trying to avoid reaching another level of fame for the time being.
The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer, who has found her way into the spotlight this year, recently shared on the Comment Section podcast that she’s started to feel unsafe due to some of her fans’ behavior. This has led her to want to “pump the brakes” on fame.
“People have started to be freaks — like, [they] follow me and know where my parents live, and where my sister works. All this weird shit,” Roan told host Drew Afualo. “This is the time when a few years ago when I said that if [there were] stalker vibes or my family was in danger, I would quit. And we’re there.

Woah! When it was announced that Keanu Reeves would be co-writing his first novel, we were all excited. That it is set in the same universe as Brzrkr – the three-volume comic series Reeves created alongside Matt Kint – added even more hype. Ahead of the novel’s July 23rd release, Keanu Reeves is chatting his inspirations and the book’s heavy themes.
That The Book of Elsewhere – which he co-wrote with China Miéville – spawns from Brzrkr probably isn’t a surprise considering that comic series practically begs for expansion in some way. (There have already been spin-offs and Netflix had talked about adapting it in live-action form.) Through work on both the comic and the novel, Keanu Reeves said the complexity of it all allowed for some self-analysis. “It surprised me in the creative act, what gets revealed to oneself. Maybe the creative act is a kind of talking, you know.

On July 17, 1999, a little animated show created by an animator and marine biology educator debuted, and it changed Nickelodeon, TV animation, and pop culture forever. "SpongeBob SquarePants," which follows its titular sentient sea sponge living in the underwater city known as Bikini Bottom and working as a fry cook at a popular burger joint, quickly took the world by storm. It overtook "Pokémon" as the highest-rated children's show on television (at the height of Pokémania), and it reinvented Nickelodeon, solidifying the network as the home of the biggest all-ages animated TV shows.
A big part of the show's success is its visual storytelling. The episodes are full of visual gags and an eye for physical comedy that's reminiscent of Golden Age of Animation cartoons like "Merrie Melodies," there's a wealth of sharp scripts with smart jokes, and the show has a terrific ensemble cast of memorable characters and enough background...
