More Matrix movies HOAX!Jan 26 2011

[This is a hoax. Sorry to get your hopes up/down. thx, @kimberlyp] According to a report at Ain't It Cool News, Keanu Reeves said that he met with the Wachowskis and that they are working on a "script treatment" for a fourth and fifth Matrix movies that would feature Reeves as Neo.

Says he met the Wachowski's (no emphasis on the word brothers), for lunch over Christmas and stated that they had completed work on a two picture script treatment that would see him return to the world of the matrix as Neo. Says the brothers have met with Jim Cameron to discuss the pro's and con's of 3D and are looking to deliver something which has never been seen again. keanu stated that he still has an obligation to the fans to deliver a movie worthy of the title "The Matrix" and he swears this time that the treatment will truly revolutionise the action genre like the first movie. Wachowski's are working on a movie called "Cloud Atlas" at the moment, once that concludes they will talk again.

And also, there's talk of a Bill & Ted 3. Take a few minutes to let all that sink in before continuing with your day.

Keanu Reeves is a really nice guyJun 04 2010

This link seems perfectly suited to Friday afternoon: it's a bunch of people sharing stories about how nice Keanu Reeves is.

Back in the late 90s and fresh out of college I got my first job as an assistant prop designer on the set of Chain Reaction (Keanu was a supporting actor with Morgan Freeman). EVERY DAY for the last few weeks of filming, Keanu treated the stage hands and "grunt workers" (including myself) by taking us out for free breakfast and lunch. He was genuinely a very nice guy to work with.

And this:

A friend of mine told me that she was once stranded on the side of a highway outside LA when her jalopy broke down. She had no cell phone (that was before most people had cell phones) and no way to call for help. Then a nice black porsche pulls over and as you can guess, it was Keanu. He tried to help her jump start the car and when it didn't work, he called AAA for her. When they towed her car, he offered her to drive her home, which she accepted. He drove about 50 miles out of his destination just to drive her home.
