I must be slipping. I thought that I said above that I like suspense. I don't like horror / gore. Horror sometimes includes gore, but if it isn't horror, well, I'm all good, aren't I? Am I saying that I wouldn't like a horror / gore / slasher film if Keanu was in such a film - and I'm not saying that this is that! - I'm saying it's possible that I wouldn't. Sorry if that offends, though I am having much trouble imagining why it would.

If you look at that 1977 version at youtube it links to a mess of weird old flicks from all parts of the planet that some might call "grindhouse". Reeves will put his own spin on this script. I hope he and Eli don't have too many creative difference during this shoot.
@MmeRenard there are other Keanu sites that make a fetish out of the second guessing and 'what Keanu should do'. I find less of it here thank goodness.

Arya, that is not what I am doing and I'm surprised that you should think so. I am pretty sure that others here have expressed a lack of enthusiasm for Roth's previous work, which does not pertain to Keanu's work in any way. I'd prefer to let the project unfold and see what I think when it's done.

MmeRenard, it's OK if you don't think this film interests you [because of the director]. Everyone has different taste.

I wasn't too thrilled with the synopsis of Passengers at first. Once I had read more saw the potential there. Since this is a remake, can really see the potential, here. Better budget, more fleshed out script [no doubt], better camera work, skip most of the 70s porn music ie film that scene differently; Oh I have ideas for that too, hehe. Seriously, if *I* had to film it what would I do...ideas. ;)

In the end we'll just have to wait and see. Fun to discuss in the meantime?

Yeah, I don't think it'll be a gory, horror flick. Keanu refused several times in the past to do movies he thought were too violent. I doubt he's changed his opinion. Knock Knock will probably be a thriller with some horror elements in it, just to spice it up a little bit :D

Yeah, I'm not too enthusiastic about this either because of Roth's involvement and my general aversion to anything that can be described with the word 'psychosexual', so depending on how things go, I might skip this one. I trust Keanu to make good choices; but I don't trust him to make movies that I'll necessarily like.


Keanu refused several times in the past to do movies he thought were too violent. I doubt he's changed his opinion.

haha yes, that. Although after Man of Tai Chi, I'm less sure. :| I'm generally okay with violence - heck, I survive Tarantino's films fine, and I play violent video games on a regular basis - but a few of those scenes already went a little too far for me. And apparently the original footage was even more violent, so...

I find Keanu's choices are seldom the ones in my normal demographic and usually outside my comfort zone (I mean years ago or what I call BK, Before Keanu). And that is where magic happens. I used to have so many opinions about what I wanted to see onscreen. Now it's more about what I don't want to see. And Reeves knows what is offensive and negative and what is necessary and transformative.
I've loved the ride so far.

I think that about sums it up :)
And it's perfectly ok , Ani.
Past a certain point, it's to each one's own. And it's just fine.
It's always a tango between movie and audience. And no-one says we have to book all dances ;)

@ LucaM and Anakin, Yes to each their own tastes and preferences however, nothing Reeves has ever done gets up to the sheer human wreckage of Tarantino's movies. So if you made it through them you'll make it through any of Keanu's movies just fine. :)

What brings the new film Eli Roth filmed in our country , " Knock , Knock " which he wrote with Nicolas Lopez, also produced the film , and William Amoedo .

The famous American director in Hollywood was by bloody films like " Hostel " and papers such as " Inglourious Basterds ." Lopez also worked in " Aftershock " and " The Green Inferno" .

Now prepare a psycho - thriller based on " Death Game" of 1977 - in which Reeves will Ignacia Allamand as a woman . Meanwhile, get involved with the characters of the Cuban Ana de Armas and Lorenza Izzo .

"The script is fantastic, the story and characters are great. Hopefully I make a very good and entertaining movie ," said Keanu .

The last time he was seen on the big screen was last year . He starred in " The Samurai Legend : 47 Ronin " director Carl Rinsch . And this year will also be in " John Wick " by David Leitch and Chad Stahelski , which tells the story of an ex- murderer who must flee from a friend who was hired to kill him. And , on April 11 debuts in Spain "The Power of Tai Chi " ( "Man of Tai Chi " ), his debut as a director , who also co-stars .

Although the actor he showered with offers to work in Hollywood , he chose to " Knock , Knock " and our country for reasons having clear . " I made the decision because he was excited about the idea of ​​working with Eli Roth" he said.
"Today I'm just going to work and rehearse"

Reeves began his day in a capital city clinic, to where it is to be a routine exams. These require the safe production of the tape , as explained within the team .

In his tour of Av Vitacura two newspaper vendors recognize him at a stoplight. The under glass to greet them.

While trying to keep a low profile to focus on trial - begins shooting next Monday to difficult it is to go outside ... Several fans were photographed with him, even at the gym.

It is just over three weeks here . " Of course it's hard being away from my family and friends , but it is also exciting to be part of this adventure ," said the actor.

Not the first time here . He had already had a short time in Chile in 2009 , at the invitation of businessman Leonardo Farkas , who paced Zapallar and Valle Nevado .

" I have no idea if I'm going to see this time ( Farkas is out of the country.) At least I have no plans to see it today . Hope you are well. Today I'm just going to work and rehearse ," he added .
