"Is that a camera?"
Keanu Reeves' last big studio release was 2008's The Day the Earth Stood Still, with the actor preferring to keep to his roots and act in smaller, indie movies in the interim. Of course, there's also the upcoming samurai movie 47 Ronin which was originally supposed to come out last year but has been delayed not once, but twice. Fear not, however, Reeves' fans, as the actor has another indie drama arriving with Generation Um..., whose first trailer has arrived online.
As Reeves himself explains in his introduction to the trailer, Generation Um... follows the lives of three New York City friends (Reeves, Silent Hill: Revelation's Adelaide Clemens and Devil's Bojana Novakovic) during a 24-hour period and, apparently, things get intense after Reeves steals a camera and starts recording their conversations.

Universal's 47 Ronin went into production under the direction of Ridley Scott protégé and first-time feature director Carl Eric Rinsch back in March and is already in post-production, and now we've finally got our first look at lead actor Keanu Reeves as Kai, a half-British, half-Japanese "outsider, a kind of half-breed with a mysterious past," who is skilled in the ways of the samurai.
Written by Chris Morgan (Wanted), the $170 million 3-D Japanese feudal period epic is based on the real-life Genroku Ako incident in which 47 ronin (masterless samurais) spent years plotting revenge against a court official who forced their daimyo (master) to commit seppuku (ritual suicide).

Johnny Utah's going to get another chance to bring down the bad guys.
Alcon Entertainment is remaking 1991's Point Break, which starred Keanu Reeves as a rookie FBI agent who goes undercover as a surfer to bring down down a bank robber (Patrick Swayze) and his crew. Academy Award–winning director Kathryn Bigelow directed the original.
While no director is currently attached to the remake, screenwriter Kurt Wimmer (Salt) wrote the screenplay, which will again follow a young FBI agent going undercover to bring down criminals — this time in the world of international extreme sports.

Today's Challenge: The Hangover Part II just had the biggest box office earnings ever for the opening weekend of an R-rated movie. The next biggest R-rated opening weekend went to The Matrix Reloaded. Can you find a movie link to connect leading men Bradley Cooper and Keanu Reeves?
Our first Facebook movie game, ClusterFlick, plays off that old "six degrees of separation" theory — you know, the one that has a certain Kevin at the center of the Hollywood universe. It's easy to play, but not so easy to win. The goal is to use the major cast of movies to get from Point A to Point B in the smallest number of moves.

While there are a variety of positions in a crew of a motion picture, the director is a pretty important one, and now Warner Bros. is lacking one.
Deadline reports that Albert Hughes has exited the adaptation of Akira, based on the Japanese Manga series of comics by Katsuhiro Otomo. The report cites "amicable creative differences" between the director and studio as the cause. Hughes and his brother and directing partner Allen have been attached to Akira since last February, with Albert directing and Allen producing.
In February, Harry Potter screenwriter Steve Kloves was brought in to perform a script polish on Akira, which prompted Warners to put together a shortlist of actors for the two lead roles of Tetsuo and Kaneda. However, the candidates — which included Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield, Garrett Hedlund, Chris Pine, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender — weren't establish enough which is why the studio contacted Keanu Reeves about the role of Kaneda, but Reeves ultimately declined.
Warner may return to their shortlist to fill the roles and are expected to find a replacement for Hughes quickly.

Keanu Reeves has been talking about a third Bill & Ted movie since last September, when he revealed that screenwriters Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon were "going to try and see if they can write something" worthy of a sequel.
In January, Reeves said the sequel would see Theodore "Ted" Logan (Reeves) and Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) still trying to save the world in the present day with "a lot of time-traveling" involved.
In a recent interview with MTV, Reeves revealed that a Bill & Ted 3 script was "six weeks away" from completion, adding: "No pressure, guys!"

The romantic comedy/crime movie Henry's Crime debuted at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, but is finally being released next month.
Directed by Malcom Venville (44 Inch Chest), Henry's Crime follows Keanu Reeves as an aimless everyman who is put in jail for a crime he did not commit. Once he is released, he decides to pull off the very crime for which he was sentenced with the aid of his cellmate (James Caan), and meanwhile falls for a theater actress (Vera Farmiga).
Moving Pictures picked up the movie for distribution last November, and has released a new trailer to promote next month's opening.

There's The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Van-Halen, U2, and Wyld Stallyns.
Not familiar with the last band? Maybe the names Ted Logan and Bill S. Preston, Esq. ring a bell.
Keanu Reeves, who played Ted in 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure said a third movie about the time-traveling slackers would be "fun."
It would just be us older guys playing the characters - we'd be older and it would be funny; they're supposed to save the world and they're turning 50.
Reeves has been trying to get a third Bill & Ted movie off the ground. He said he has had talks with Alex Winter, who played Bill, and writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon.
