"I like people who have a fairly twisted sense of the world that reflects in their humor and what they're interested in..." -- keanu reeves
Keanu Reeves has played characters ranging from the air-headed Ted in BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE to futuristic hero Neo in THE MATRIX to Bob Arctor/Fred in A SCANNER DARKLY.
Up next in theaters for Keanu is the film THE PRIVATE LIVES OF PIPPA LEE. Directed by Rebecca Miller the movie premiered in February at the Berlinale film festival in Germany and will be showing at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. It just got an American distributor and looks set to open in the US in the fall of 2009.
Next up for filming is a romantic-comedy called HENRY'S CRIME, which starts filming in Buffalo, NY in November. The latest buzz on projects still in the planning stage includes Keanu playing Spike in a live-action version of COWBOY BEBOP, portraying a chef in a project by director David Fincher, starring in a remake of 47 RONIN, or another science-fiction project called PASSENGERS where Reeves will play a man on a long space flight who mysterious wakes up from suspended animation and then has to decide if he should wake up someone else or live his life alone. Then there's the remake of DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. Looks like Keanu's loading up his filming schedule for the next few years.
Fandom for him is extremely polarized, with people either being fans or not. This lens will let you explore his movies and career and then you can decide for yourself. I made this lens because Keanu and I share the same birthday.

THE PRIVATE LIVES OF PIPPA LEE
This satirical drama is directed by Rebecca Miller (wife of Daniel Day-Lewis), based on her book by the same name. When a woman's much older husband moves them to a retirement community and begins to have an affair, she herself begins to explore her own life, heading towards a quiet, nervous breakdown. This movie stars Robin Wright Penn (Pippa), Alan Arkin (Pippa's husband Herb), and Winona Ryder (the other woman in Herb's life). Keanu's character is Chris, a man in his thirties who moves back in with his parents in the retirement community due to life's circumstances, and becomes Pippa's lover. And as you can see here, in a screen capture I made from the trailer, his character has a large tattoo of Jesus on his chest.The film premiered at the Berlinale in Germany in February, screening out of competition. It opened in the UK in July. The film will be part of the Toronto International Film Festival in September and will open to limited release in the USA on October 16, 2009.

A Basic Keanu Biography
Keanu Charles Reeves was born on September 2, 1964 in Beruit, Lebanon. His father was a geologist and his mother was a costume designer. He has a dual Canadian-British citizenship. His heritage is a mix, including English, Chinese and Hawaiian ancestry.He was named after an uncle. References for Hawaiian names give pronunciations for his name as "kay-AH-noo" but most often you hear people say "kee-AH-new." He was pressured to change his name to be less exotic when he first started acting, but his success has helped lead to a trend of actors with exotic names not changing them anymore.
He tends to be very private about his personal life and early in his career was known for answering personal questions with off-the-cuff answers where it was hard to tell if he was joking or serious. Now he still deflects inquires into his life, but the answers tend to be more thoughtful, although the enigmatic philosophical answer hasn't entirely fallen by the wayside.
He's been linked with a variety of actresses and girlfriends over the years but is still single. The daughter he had with girlfriend Jennifer Syme in late 1999 was stillborn and Syme herself was killed in a car accident in 2001.
For years Keanu lived primarily out of hotels despite making more than enough money to own a house. He's finally bought a house in a trendy part of Los Angeles and frequent bystander and paparazzi pics show him riding his motorcycle around town. He is consistently photographed either going to the gym or going out to dinner.
