Whoa. Can You Guess These 8 Keanu Reeves Movies From Just 3 Emoji?

Answer

The Matrix (1999)

“Keanu made $10 million upfront for this one plus a massive backend cut — and then <cite index="6-5,6-6,6-7">donated 70% of it, about $24.5 million, to leukemia research</cite>. The man really said 'there is no spoon' AND 'there is no ego.'”

Answer

John Wick (2014)

“That heartbreaking beagle, Daisy, was played by a real dog named Andy on his very first acting job. To get him to nail the bedside cuddle scene, <cite index="13-7,13-8">the only way to entice Andy into jumping onto John's bed and licking his face was to spread bacon grease on the actor's cheeks</cite>. Say what you want about John Wick's body count — that's dedication.”

Answer

Speed (1994)

“That famous moment where Keanu smashes the bus door glass at the start of the chase? Total accident. <cite index="19-1">Keanu Reeves breaking the glass on the bus door in the beginning of the bus chase was an accident, but director Jan de Bont liked its effect and it was left in the final cut</cite>. Iconic movie moments really are just happy on-set mistakes sometimes.”

Answer

Point Break (1991)

“Producers reportedly wanted Charlie Sheen or Johnny Depp for Johnny Utah, but director Kathryn Bigelow held firm on her guy. Before filming, <cite index="33-4,33-6">Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, and Lori Petty went to Hawaii to get surfing lessons from Dennis Jarvis, a professional surfer</cite>, and none of them had any real experience. Keanu got hooked and never stopped surfing.”

Answer

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)

“Wild fact: Keanu and Alex Winter each auditioned for the OTHER guy's role before the filmmakers flipped a switch. <cite index="40-8,40-9">Each actor actually auditioned for the opposite role, but when Solomon and Matheson saw their audition tapes, they thought the opposite would work better</cite>. Also, the time-traveling phone booth was originally supposed to be a van — changed at the last minute so it wouldn't look too much like a certain other time-travel movie.”

Answer

Constantine (2005)

“Comic purists howled that Reeves' Constantine wasn't blonde, British, or true to the source — the character was famously modeled after Sting. But the movie got the last laugh: <cite index="49-1">the content of the 2005 Keanu Reeves film Constantine was referenced in new comic books and has officially become part of DC canon</cite>.”

Answer

A Scanner Darkly (2006)

“That trippy, ever-shifting animated look wasn't quick to make. <cite index="56-3,56-4,56-5">According to writer and director Richard Linklater, filming was completed in twenty-three days, but the animation took eighteen months</cite>. Twenty-three days of Keanu vs. a year and a half of rotoscoping — no wonder this one still looks unlike anything else in his filmography.”

Answer

The Devil's Advocate (1997)

“Behind the scenes was almost as dramatic as the plot. <cite index="67-1,67-2">Keanu Reeves accepted a lower salary so the producers could pay Al Pacino's asking price, and when Pacino later heard about this, he donated the same amount of his salary to charity</cite>. Not a bad way to negotiate with Satan.”
