NEW MILFORD — At least for one day, Jillian Alps felt like a star.
The general manager of the Heritage Inn on Bridge Street played hostess to film stars Keanu Reeves, Alan Arkin, Winona Ryder and Robin Wright Penn on Monday when scenes from the movie “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee” were filmed in town.
The film crew rented four of the property’s 20 guest rooms for the day so the actors and actresses could relax between takes. All gave autographs and were gracious with the staff, said Alps, who couldn’t pass up getting her picture taken with Reeves.
“He was more than happy to sit down with us,” she said, describing him as “easy going,” “low key” and a “nice guy.” “As soon as they walked in the door they shook hands. We had breakfast waiting.”
It was the second time the bed and breakfast, a former tobacco warehouse and feed and grain store listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has hosted a movie crew. Last year producers and actors with “The Six Wives of Henry Lefay” stayed at the property during shooting in town. Read more… »
I know Keanu is uncredited in the 1993 movie Freaked, and yes you do not recognize him in that costume, but I made caps anyway. See all 38 screencaptures of Ortiz the Dog Boy in the gallery:
Keanu continue promoting his new movie “Street Kings”. He attented last April 15th a premiere in Sidney, Australia. I added pictures from the premiere, and also pics from Keanu arriving in Melbourne, April 12th. And there’s, too, pictures from Keanu in NY’s Rockfeller Center, after his participation in NBC’s Today Show. Enjoy!
As I announced earlier, Keanu was a guest at the tonight show with Jay Leno last thursday, I made a few screencaptures from his appearance and you can find them in the gallery:
For those of you who missed it, for whatever reason, DON’T WORRY I made a video clip from the interview and posted it in the video archive (along with two clips from his appearance on jay leno 5 years ago).
Keanu Reeves has starred in big sci-fi thrillers like The Matrix and Constantine, even romantic dramas like Sweet November and The Lake House.
So what hasn’t Keanu accomplished in his career that he’d love to do? Musicals!
“I’d like to sing and dance, like in a musical,” Keanu, 43, told Live with Regis and Kelly on Wednesday. “I’ve always wanted to do a romance where you talk, and then sing.”
Mr. Reeves then pretended to act out a love scene with co-host Kelly Ripa. Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, who was filling in for Regis Philbin, sat idly by as Keanu and Kelly professed their love for one another.
I apologize for my absence these last few months, I never intended to stay away for so long, so to make up for my absence I made a few updates. First I made a few (MQ) screencaptures from the movie: Parenthood (1989):
I also added a few new videos in the video archive, a lot of movie trailers (including one of the new street kings) and a couple of interviews of Keanu on the red carpet:
I also wanted to inform everyone of a few ‘appearances’ Keanu will be doing on television:
- The Making of Street Kings on HBOe (April 7, April 9, April 15, April 18)
- NBC’s Today on NBC (April 9)
- Live with Regis and Kelly (April 9)
- Tonight Show With Jay Leno on NBC (April 10)
So make sure you don’t miss it.
Coming out on April 11th is a very gritty film called ‘Street Kings’ starring Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, Keanu Reeves, Hugh Laurie, Chris Evans, Naomie Harris, Jay Mohr, John Corbett, Cedric the Entertainer, Amaury Nolasco, Terry Crews, Common, and The Game.
Reeves plays Tom Ludlow, a veteran LAPD Vice Detective, who sets out on a quest to discover the killers of his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington (Crews).
Whitaker plays Captain Wander, Ludlo’s supervisor, whose duties include keeping him within the confines of the law and out of the clutches of Internal Affairs Captain Biggs (Laurie). Ludlow teams up with a young Robbery Homicide Detective (Evans) to track Washington’s killers through the diverse communities of Los Angeles.
Their determination pays off when the two Detectives track down Washington’s murderers and confront them in an attempt to bring them to justice.
David Ayers, who directed the film, also wrote ‘Training Day’, which garnered Denzel Washington his second Academy Award.
I made a video clip from the interview and posted it in the video archive (along with two clips from his appearance on jay leno 5 years ago).
