Keanu Reeves Needs You to Accept That Bill and Ted Aren’t Stoners

Just as long-awaited comedy threequel Bill & Ted Face the Music is about to be unleashed onto the world, Keanu Reeves has something to say about its iconic central characters, Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted Theodore Logan: they are categorically not stoners. Sure, some people might have enjoyed watching Reeves and longtime pal Alex Winter in the Bill and Ted movies over the decades while high as all fuck and may have also projected that onto the beloved pair of time-traveling dudes, but that doesn’t mean the characters were ever anything other than lovable goofballs who just wanted you…

The Batman: Matt Reeves Cites Chinatown and Other 1970s Noirs as Influences

If you’ve seen The Batman trailer already—and let’s be honest you’ve watched that bad boy several times by now—you were probably taken with how stripped down and grim it all appears. Suddenly overnight Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy appears to be lighthearted by comparison. That is no accident, of course. More than typical superhero movie directors, Matt Reeves is open about how his film is reaching back toward the influences of significant 1970s Hollywood filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, William Friedkin, and Roman Polanski. This came up late in The Batman DC FanDome panel when Reeves was asked about his…

We still have to wait a little more than a year (if we’re lucky) to see a new vision of Batman make his way to the big screen. That’s when Robert Pattinson dons the cape and cowl in The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves. Reeves isn’t just directing The Batman, he also co-wrote the script with Mattson Tomlin. Den of Geek caught up with Tomlin to discuss the screenplay he wrote for Project Power, a superhero-esque action movie that arrives on Netflix later this week (you can read our full Project Power-centric interview with Tomlin here), and the writer gave…

Winona Ryder Reveals Keanu Reeves Refused to Verbally Abuse Her in Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Winona Ryder has been in the news quite a bit this week. Once the perennial Gen-X star of the ‘90s, she still carries a loyal following of fans who swear by the mantra of “Winona Forever.” It appears that Keanu Reeves and Anthony Hopkins may be among them, as per Ryder’s most recent recollection from making the classic vampire movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992). In a new interview with The Sunday Times, Ryder recalled when director Francis Ford Coppola attempted to emotionally prepare her for a scene by shouting, “You whore! You whore!” over and over again, and getting the…

The Batman Director Matt Reeves on Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan’s Films and His Own Vision

Having picked up the reigns on The Batman from a weary Ben Affleck, who had been attempting to develop a solo Batman movie since donning the cowl in Warner Bros’ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, director Matt Reeves understands that there’s a lot riding on his new vision for the Dark Knight, and in a new interview with Nerdist, he’s been looking back on the films that came before, and how he can create a unique Bruce Wayne story, borne from trauma. Reeves cast Robert Pattinson as the iconic DC character in his upcoming movie, which…
