“Commitment” is a word that many involved in The Replacements use to describe Reeves’ work ethic. “He wasn’t one to shirk his responsibilities,” recalls co-star Hackman. “There was a scene where he had to do some diving [Reeves’ character scrapes barnacles off boats for a living] and come up out of the water. He must have done that take 20 times. And the water was very chilly. But he kept doing it without a complaint. A lot of guys wouldn’t do that.”

“No, that’s false,” says Reeves. “There were a couple of wasted people out front but I kind of dug it. It was funny. They were like, ‘Yeah, there’s this band with the actor in it from America. Let’s throw shit.’ Can’t say that I blame them.”

Keanu Reeves has a movie opening this weekend, but he doesn’t want you to know about it.

In The Watcher, Reeves makes his first foray into villainy, playing a cunning serial killer who toys with an obsessed detective (James Spader).

Note: Down in 2001, there is an article covering what Keanu had to say about this film after the gag order expired.

Keanu Reeves

On the set of The Matrix 2 & 3, it was first time I’d seen a living ghost. Straight after the sudden tragic death of his partner and the recent death of their baby, he was in Australia making the two movies. Joel Silver hand-picked a few Aussie journalists to go onto the set and interview key cast. Reeves came in on a rare day off because Silver had asked him too. He looked strange. I thought I was looking through a thin veil of skin over a mountain of unprocessed grief. I felt guilty doing my job that day.

Keanu Reeves: The Man Who Isn’t There

By Lev Grossman/Los Angeles Monday, Feb. 14, 2005

“There’s about one or two people that he invited, and the rest are Hollywood execs,” LaBeouf says, sounding a little stunned. “His mom was there, and one guy from his band, and then a bunch of f___ing execs. Francis [Lawrence, who directed Constantine] and me were just sort of looking at each other.”
