If he did the audio book it would be a sort of a preparation for his doing shakespeare on stage. Then he could release the audio book during the run at the theater. To calm the fans who can't get to where its playing, and to re enforce the theme of keanu and shakespeare the perfect match. See? A multi media extravaganza! Can there be a video game? Just throwing it out there.

I think this article is recycled info that is partially true. But I do believe he wants to do MacBeth. Maybe 3D! It would really help out school kids. If it comes to the stage I will be there, WHEREVER it may be.
Of course my usual plea is for him to do an audio book of shakespeare sonnets or plays or both. It would be a fab teaching aid.

This is a real gem of an article.

'I've been an enormous fan of Keanu since River’s Edge,' the director explained. 'When this film came up, I thought Keanu's innate physicality, intelligence and charm would make him perfect to play Utah. He holds the screen, and he's got a magical ability to put the audience in his back pocket. In addition, the role was a departure from the work he'd done in the past. We all felt it would be a fresh approach for the picture.'

if it was Alex that got the script or someone else.

remember it seemed to make him happy during the AWITC promo interviews too.

said it best with her description of how directors cast parts...
the men they want to be and the women they want to get. ;)

I wonder if they are still going to film in japan?

"Intended as a reminder to take oneself only so seriously, Ode to Happiness is both a meditation and a gentle tease about how we cope with life’s sorrows."

Anyone know what date this speaking event took place?

Brilliant, insightful, and well written article. Kudos to Katherine Monk!
