Kate Bosworth, Christina Hendricks, and Tom Cruise Celebrate Scorsese in Harper's Bazaar

Katie Henry — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 10:36:48 PDT

The Fall is shaping up to be a celebratory season for director Martin Scorsese. In addition to earning his very first Emmy for Boardwalk Empire, his 3D children's film Hugo just debuted at the New York Film Festival to rave reviews. Martin's also the subject of a tribute article in Harper's Bazaar November issue, which is out on Oct. 25, featuring Martin recasting some of his most famous films - make sure to check out behind-the-scenes videos from the star-studded shoot. Kate Bosworth, wearing couture Givenchy, channeled Michelle Pfeiffer's character in The Age of Innocence, while Christina Hendricks and Jack Huston were given the task of re-creating Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz's chemistry in The Gangs of New York. Keanu Reeves and Chloe Moretz took on Taxi Driver, and Emily Blunt went blond for her Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore assignment. Tom Cruise even contributed to the article with a story about working with Martin. Recalling their time on The Color of Money with Scorsese set, Tom said, "When we started working together, Marty would just giggle. And it was wonderful because sometimes in the more violent scenes, like when I got pissed and was going down the stairs and throwing down the briefcase, you could just hear him giggle."

Sad Keanu Is a Fun Lip Balm

Annie Tomlin — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 03:01:32 PDT

If you like year-old Reddit memes, you'll get a kick out of this. Sad Keanu is sad, as you'll see in this handmade vegan lip balm. Tinted purple and flavored with blackberry, the balm pays homage to the Sad Keanu meme, which implies that the actor is totally bummed. Keanu, oddly sounding like Sir Lawrence Olivier, addressed the issue in an interview this year - he's not actually depressed. If you like the idea of Keanu on your lips, act fast, because just like the staying power of an Internet meme, the lip balm supply is short-lived.

Do You Want to See Two More Matrix Sequels?

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 12:15:50 PST

UPDATE: A rep for Reeves says that "none of it is true."

It's been eight years since the last Matrix film was in theaters, and the special effects the sci-fi movies inspired have grown leaps and bounds since then. However, the franchise might be on the verge of a revival, and in 3D, no less (would you expect any different these days?). According to star Keanu Reeves, the Wachowskis have finished a two-script treatment for a pair of sequels to The Matrix and the filmmakers had met with James Cameron to discuss the use of 3D.

I'm torn; the way the trilogy ended was pretty disappointing, but the first Matrix was such an innovative and compelling film. I think the Wachowskis have the potential to show us something really amazing with the technology that's available today - but I also want to see a more satisfying story than what the final film provided. What do you think? Do you want to see The Matrix boot back up, or should it stay unplugged?

Henry's Crime Trailer: Keanu Reeves Robs Banks, Woos Vera Farmiga

Lauren Bradshaw — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 10:44:17 PST

Part heist flick, part comedy, Henry's Crime stars Keanu Reeves as a man who serves time for robbing a bank - a crime that he didn't commit. When he gets out of the slammer, he decides he might as well rob the bank for real. Along the way, he gets hit by a car driven by a beautiful actress (Vera Farmiga) and conspires with a former inmate (James Caan), who helps him hatch his scheme. Oh, and the plan involves acting in a production of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, where he sports an unusually pronounced goatee.

If the film sounds somewhat convoluted and silly, it is. That's precisely why I'm interested! I'd rather see Reeves in a quirky comedy over a drama any day (after all, it's kind of hard to take him seriously after this). The majority of you say you love the guy, so will you go see him in Henry's Crime? Watch the preview, and share your thoughts when you

Keanu Reeves Isn't One to Waste

PopSugar — Sun, 30 May 2010 06:00:00 PDT

Keanu Reeves took his leftovers to go after grabbing lunch at Bar Pitti in NYC earlier this week. He enjoyed another outing with guy friends and not his pal Charlize Theron, who Keanu was spotted sharing a long goodbye with earlier this month in LA. Keanu's days of hanging out will be put on hold soon though, since he recently signed on to star in a new sci-fi film called Passengers.

Keanu Reeves Goes From Charlize to His Buddies in NYC

PopSugar — Wed, 12 May 2010 04:00:00 PDT

A scruffy Keanu Reeves picked up a coffee and met friends to chat on a park bench in NYC yesterday. He's hanging on the East Coast after what might have been a romantic date with longtime pal and former onscreen love interest Charlize Theron in LA last week. The intimate dinner sparked plenty of rumors about their relationship, though Keanu's been sweet with his costars in the past and Charlize was recently seen cozying up to Jeremy Renner.

Keanu and Charlize Starring In a New Real Life Romance?

PopSugar — Tue, 04 May 2010 12:30:00 PDT

Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron shared a PDA moment waiting for their cars from the valet outside Bouchon in Beverly Hills last night. They're costars twice over, in The Devil's Advocate and Sweet November, as well as longtime friends, but there was something especially intimate about how she snuck her hands inside his coat to stay warm. He rubbed her back as they embraced, even sharing a quick kiss - you be the judge of whether it's anything romantic, check out the video! Charlize is known to be especially close with her guy pals, like recent red-carpet cuddling with Jeremy Renner, though it would be sweet to see her move on from Stuart with someone she's known forever like Keanu.
