:D

Okay - prediction in terms of acting?

Keanu will have to carry the whole of the first half of the film. I have fairly high hopes for this, because:

- there's minimal dialogue, and dialogue is one of his weak points
- his character Jim is fairly confused, and Keanu is excellent at playing confused
- it's mostly a solitary affair with more physical acting than anything, another of Keanu's strong points. For all the fish and non-fish who say he would make a good mime, this is the ultimate test.
- but regardless of how good Keanu is, I predict that a fish is going to make a comment about how Keanu was more robotic than the android, Arthur.

... I'm looking forward to hear K speak Russian.
no, really :D

and I subscribe to your points ;)

... and yes, he'd make an excellent mime ;) :D
*hides*


PS - I'm so happy ( that the film is getting made) I could sing. But you don't want to hear that. Trust me. You just don't.

I am thrilled this project is moving forward! And I have to totally disagree that dialogue is a weak point for Keanu. That is a subjective opinion as is mine. He has a perfect voice for movies and he appears to love dialogue.

More on "Passengers":

As for the question at the end of the article, my answer is "yes!".

And here's an article that the first article links to:

As for that question... well... my first reaction at finding out the truth would be punching the guy in the face.
But a library of three thousand movies and a lifetime to watch them ? (At least for that )he's forgiven. ;) :D

Considering the headline reads 'scathing reviews and bitchy people' I actually kind of got a kick out of it in spite of it's run-of-the-mill text ;). Author is a man of course so perhaps sharing K's bed really doesn't appeal to him - and there's always the chance that he's surrounded by folks who like the idea and just can't understand why - one's meat and potatoes is another's tofu. Thank all the Gods for that or there'd not be a fan site in sight and the 'net would be a lot 'smaller' :D. I guess we should try to be thankful for the fish 8-0.

As for the question, well it would be the Ether that would wake me, not K, so I'd just be an observer 'auntie' babysitting the kiddies, which would be fun enough as long as I could watch those movies too - of course they'd have to let me unfreeze a pet of my choice (make of that what you will ;).

Gay men and bisexual men are men too. :|

From idleprimate on that site:

"he's a blank template for any hero to be written on. he's whatever we want to see, cntributing nothing personal whatsoever. and that isnt meant as a criticism."


* So long, and thanks for all the fish comes to mind*

:D
that should be our theme song or something.


of course they'd have to let me unfreeze a pet of my choice (make of that what you will ;).

He's a guinea pig. His name is Freedom, and he's bisexual.

... I've read it before, somewhere else.
*shrugs*
there's not much imagination out there...

and the funniest part is that all those fish will crowd to see the movie anyway.
so there ;)

Interestingly, IMDB reports that Passengers is up 799% (!!) in popularity this week. Also, Muccino's project before Passengers, What I Know About Love (still in production), is up 107% this week. The next and previous (pre 2010) Muccino movies don't seem to garner nearly as much interest. I'm thinking/hoping that the Keanu factor is in play here.

I'm a bit worried that Henry's Crime is *down* 10% this week. Hope it doesn't last.

Oddly, these films are listed on IMDB's info page about Keanu:

Jekyll (details only on IMDbPro)
Chef (details only on IMDbPro)
Stompanato (details only on IMDbPro)
Passengers (details only on IMDbPro)
Cowboy Bebop (details only on IMDbPro)
Cartagena (details only on IMDbPro)
47 Ronin (2012) (pre-production) (rumored)
Henry's Crime (2010) (filming) .... Henry

I thought Stompanato and Cartagena were scrapped? And possibly Chef too?

ink - IMDb does take its own sweet time in updating that section ;)

and frankly, I don't pay much attention to those IMDb ratings. Don't know how they calculate that popularity index, but if they follow a formula as obscure as that of the 'weighted average' for ratings... then I wouldn't lose sleep over it ;)

Stompanato was scrapped; no idea about Cartagena, and as far as I know Chef is still a go.

Does anyone know whether Gabriele Muccini has finished filming What I Know About Love? He's set to do Passengers after that, right? Wonder if they even have a finished script yet. IMDB is no help whatsoever. With Jekyll having lost its director (Refn said they wanted to do Jekyll this year and he couldn't find time for it), they'll have to wait for Muccini to finish WIKAL before they can start on Passengers. If it's not finished already, that is.

Is there some sort of miracle button I can push to make IMDB accurate?

Finally some news about Passengers. Been quiet for way too long, so I'm happy to see that they're doing press about it:
