Keanu Reeves: It doesn't ­matter that "Matrix" fans were largely indifferent to this summer's sequel. That was no slacker "Bill and Ted" deal he made off tie-ins, and the back-end and opening-weekend percentages. With Matrices 2 and 3, Reeves becomes the highest-paid ­actor in Hollywood, and the one least likely to toss the money away on Hollywood froufrou.
