 From Independent Films
Mysterious dude: Keanu as Chris Nadeau in 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee', with co-star Robin Wright Penn.
Keanu Reeves - An A-list slacker grows up
His next role sees him playing the toy-boy next door. But is Keanu Reeves really the guitar-strumming, eternal teenager of popular repute? Kaleem Aftab finds out
Friday, 3 July 2009
It's quite disconcerting meeting Keanu Reeves in the flesh. The 44-year-old looks at least a decade younger than his age, with his prominent cheekbones, flowing locks and smooth, other-worldly complexion. Deflecting questions with a mysterious gleam in his eye, there's something of the teenager about him. |

Sighting : Travellers' Log

 from travelpod.com
English isn't my mother tongue, so I kinda don't understand whether these young people travelling in Italy met Keanu the other day or maybe watched Speed on the bus or something else... 
"... This takes us to June 22. Chris' birthday. Spent the first hour with Keanu Reeves driving our bus to Florence as if a bomb was triggered to the speedo. Then spent the day wandering through Florence deciding it was our favourite place in Italy..."

Movie : Update On Bebop
|

 From Scificool.com
The “Cowboy Bebop” movie, on the other hand, seems to actually be moving forward. Writer Peter Craig has already finished the script, and says this about the original “Cowboy Bebop” crew’s involvement in the live-action movie:
met with all of them in Tokyo in December – at a long meeting with Keanu in the room. I thought there was an immediate rapport between all of us, particularly Shinchiro Watanabe and Keanu. |

Robin: Keanu is a gentle giant
Published Date: 19 June 2009
Keanu Reeves has been praised as a "gentle giant" by his co-star Robin Wright Penn. The two play an unlikely couple in The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee, which also stars Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore and Blake Lively, and Robin said Keanu was perfect for his role as a kind, soulful slacker.
She said: "I thought he was quite good actually, he's perfect for it - he's a gentle giant."
She went on: "He's very comfortable around girls, thank God because it was a full set of girls!"
The 43-year-old actress added that he made her feel comfortable on set.
"I feel like we were blessed to have him do it, because it didn't feel strange. The dynamic was already there. To me, that's chemical. When a director knows, when they walk in, that that person clicks, and we just had it. We needed Pippa to be seen, and he's the first person that actually sees her for who she is, she knows he sees her, and it's beautiful as she's then allowed to blossom," Robin said. |

Sighting : Now Back in LA?

 This sighting in from this blog, thanks annabelle
June 15th= Keanu apparently flew back from London to LA. (from Rome) Ross Halfin, also attended the LA premiere of Anvil and went to the afterparty at the Darkroom.
"On my flight yesterday (I was flying in the front of the plane with my chum who plays guitar in Led Zeppelin) was that famous soap dodger, Keanu Reeves, looking like he need a few good baths. He must have taken something 'cos he got on, didn't put on the free pyjamas and slept out cold the whole way in his jacket and sunglasses!" |

Movie Review : Good reputation seems to precede Pippa Lee

Film Review: The Private Lives of Pippa Lee
by Jonathan Melville
What is it that holds relationships, and in particular marriages, together? Love? Devotion? Routine? For Pippa Lee, the heroine at the centre of Rebecca Miller’s life-affirming new film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee the answer would seem to be “all of the above, with a side helping of luck.”
Opening in present-day America, somewhere in the suburbs of a genteel retirement community, Pippa Lee (Robin Wright Penn) and her older husband Herb (Alan Arkin) appear to be the perfect couple. |

Movie Review : EFF - The first in-depth review of Pippa Lee

 from filmstalker.co.uk thanks lizzy1
We know it's a bit cynical to review a film no one apart from festival audiences can see, but we hope this changes soon; at least we can enjoy the anticipation.
Filmstalker Review: The Private Lives of Pippa Lee
I must admit to being a little biased towards this film when I first heard about it, after all it leads with the gorgeous Robin Wright Penn backed by Maria Bello, Monica Bellucci and another surprising return for Wynona Ryder, and while watching it I have to admit to being not only captivated by Robin Wright Penn, but also totally convinced and drawn into her character, and that goes for Maria Bello as well.
The female performances in this film are excellent, and they lead the way with the actors barely able to keep up, but this film is about Pippa and Robin Wright Penn's amazing ability to tell a story and emotion through the simplest of movements or pauses. She does take control of the film, and rightly so. |

Edinburgh International Film Festival: Pippa Lee
EIFF doesn't officially start until tomorrow. However, Pippa screened today along with another film for the press. Short review that is mixed, but where I come from four stars isn't bad.

When in Rome...
If I was in Rome right now all I would think of is eating their fab food and drinking their amazing wine 24/7, just like Keanu Reeves is doing! The actor was spotted having lunch with a friend today.

| Posted by ginger on 2009/6/3 18:50:00 (136 reads) |
 To the new Gallery members and those wishing to register
Dear new members and those wishing to register at the Gallery,
I've noticed that out of 170+ newly registered members since January, about one third has never logged in and I would just like to remind you of the following:
The automated reply system sometimes fails to send the approval message and therefore I'd kindly ask you to try to log in with your user name and password a day or two after the registration.
Also, in order to get approved, you need to fill in the form properly (all the fields and with a valid e-mail address) - otherwise you won't get approved.
Being registered here, at the homepage, doesn't automatically mean you are registered at the Gallery (or the forum/message board) as well. You need to register for each of the three boards separately.
And, finally, these guidelines can always be found in the top right box if you click on Read before registering at the Gallery
I hope this helps. Cya in there, ginger
