Ruben V. Nepales’s interview with Keanu Reeves for the Phillipine Daily Inquirer is up. Mr. Nepales noted that On occasion Ted Logan slipped out as he noted:
Dressed in his trademark black from head to toe, Keanu is a lot more comfortable at interviews these days, but he still tends to look down, especially when he smiles, and avoids eye contact when he speaks.
During the course of the interview Keanu names Bertolucci as a director that left a mark on him. When asked about Dogstar, he says that he misses the fellowship of the band, misses performing and wouldn’t mind having a band again.
When asked for an update on 47 Ronin, he went on record with the following:
“I knew that we were reinterpreting the story. In terms of magic swords and fire-breathing dragons, the movie went farther than I thought it was going to go.”
“And, for me to be the outsider as a way to tell this story to foreigners, so that they could relate to me as they go on this journey of the Bushido, I thought that was nice. There’s an intention by the director (Carl Rinsch), even in the fantastical, to pay respects to the Japanese depiction.”
