Karen Mok was intervieweded by Janice Jann for TimeOut Hong Kong. During the course of the interview, Karen was asked about her recent project, Man of Tai Chi and working with Keanu Reeves.
She was asked what is what like to work with Keanu, whether she hesitated to sign on to the project because he had never directed before and what kind of directing style she was drawn to.
In response to the interviewer’s response that Keanu’s being good-looking didn’t hurt, she had the following to say about Keanu:
Yeah, that doesn’t hurt. And he’s an ultra-nice guy on top of all that so it’s exciting he’s going into directing as well. It’s quite a challenge because [this film is] a Hollywood production but it’s being shot in China and the script is in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. And, of course, he works with a lot of the crew that are from this part of the world. [This production is] a hybrid. Of course, when you fuse different elements and style, that’s when you create something new and I’m really proud to be a part of it.
