Katherine Monk interviewed Keanu Reeves for O canada. Keanu talks about the film and the cautionary tale it tells. He also discusses directing the film and reveals a bit of himself in the process saying:
“I love being under pressure. It’s fantastic. I like having responsibilities, it really gets you going,” he says with the tone of a Boy Scout leader offering a pep talk to a pack of young cubs.
“We probably had more coverage than any other movie like this,” he says, as Chen nods in agreement.
“But it was considered coverage, not just to get it and figure it out later. I wanted to play with elevations and the subjective and the objective. There is even one scene where Tiger pushes the camera away,” says Reeves.
“We break the fourth wall. I broke a lot of rules, but I felt I could because the story kept telling me I could.”
