Billionaire philanthropist and ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, MacKenzie Scott has recently donated $640M to over 300 nonprofit groups. After announcing her decision to donate on Tuesday, the former wife of the Amazon founder gave away a staggering amount to help people in difficult situations.

According to reports, MacKenzie Scott’s donation announcement came after Elon Musk accused her of “destroying Western civilization” by distributing money. Initially promising to donate $250M, Scott seemingly doubled the amount after Musk’s taunt. Now, her total donation turned out to be more than what Eternals and The Marvels earned at the box office combined.

Last year, Sandra Bullock lost her partner of eight years, Bryan Randall, to Als after a three-year-long battle. Said to have been soulmates by her close friends, it’s safe to say that the loss of Randall took a heavy toll on the actress. But per an insider, one of her closest friends, Keanu Reeves, is reportedly trying to find his Speed Costar love again.
While reports suggest the Miss Congeniality Star is yet to overcome the loss, which is reasonable considering it has only been seven months, an insider revealed that she is ready to love again.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.
Today we speak with the great Andrew Davis, director of The Fugitive (now available on 4K Uhd and Digital). We chat about his favorite days during the production of the iconic Harrison Ford thriller, some of his B-Sides and the trajectory of his career in general.
There’s his debut feature, the bluesy ensemble piece Stony Island. There’s the movie he got to make after his meteoric success: Steal Big Steal Little. And then there’s the Coast Guard action drama The Guardian from 2006, which Davis claims had better test screening scores than any movie in the history of Touchstone Pictures.

John Wick is far and away one of the quintessential action franchises of the modern era. With intense stunt work, incredible creative teams, and a wealth of talent in front of the camera- it’s no secret that John Wick has left his mark on the movie industry. Among on of the franchise’s most iconic moments is the Red Circle Club fight and shootout from the first installment in the series.
John Wick (2014) is a revenge action thriller starring Keanu Reeves as the titular character. The film was written by Derek Kolstad and directed by former Keanu-Stuntman Chad Stahelski and David Leitch. Stahelski was Reeves’ stunt double on the Matrix, which (until John Wick) was Reeves’ most physically demanding role. As a result, Stahelski directs Keanu perfectly with the two working together to physically match one another’s movements and body language which Stahelski states made the shoots much more successful.

It’s still the very beginning, as the strike put it on hold for a little bit. So we’re probably going to start getting back together after Thanksgiving, and dig back in to try and crack it.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes has finally been released and has a bit of an uphill battle to contend with. The new movie will obviously not include the popular franchise series’ star, Jennifer Lawrence, and interest in the prequel isn’t generating the same buzz as the sequels to the 2012 original. The film’s director, Francis Lawrence, is a series regular and has returned for this new entry. However, there are other titles in Lawrence’s resume that fans have been wanting follow-ups for.
The Hollywood Reporter has recently spoken with The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes director, where he addresses that he’s currently working on getting Constantine 2 in motion. As James Gunn and Peter Safran take over the DC film slate, Lawrence is asked if the regime change meant that a sequel to Constantine was dead. Lawrence responded, “No, but we’ve had many obstacles.

Of all the iconic imagery to come out of movies in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, there are perhaps none more iconic than the incredible “Bullet Time” scene in The Matrix. This scene has been referenced, ripped off, and even credited as a revolutionary moment in filmmaking history. The Wachowskis created a method for showcasing the amazing speed of a spinning bullet, while also slowing it down so much that we witness the tack-sharp reflexes of our movie’s hero- Neo, played by Keanu Reeves. The scene required green screen compositing, over 100 cameras, and even digital effects to pull off, but the result was worth the trouble.
The bullet time scene has been a standout piece of every Matrix film and, of course, with special and digital effects getting better and better, some of the effects used in the original film have aged less gracefully than we would’ve hoped.

While Sofia Coppola is in the editing room ahead of a fall release of her Priscilla Presley drama, she’s found time to complete her first book and, as recently revealed, team with Suntory Whisky on a new short film celebrating their centenary. Of course featured in her second feature Lost in Translation two decades ago, her father and Akira Kurosawa also shot a commercial for the company in the early 80s. For the spot, she recruited Keanu Reeves, reuniting the talents after they briefly dated when meeting on the set of Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The project, which also features snippets of other promotions from the company throughout the years, will be followed by documentary shorts featuring Keanu Reeves and directed by Roman Coppola titled “The Nature and Spirit of Japan,” arriving later this summer.

The band played material from their two previous studio albums, 1996’s Our Little Visionary and 2000’s Happy Ending, along with new songs from their upcoming, as-yet-unannounced album.
Comprised of bassist Reeves, drummer Robert Mailhouse, and singer-guitarist Brett Domrose, Dogstar released two albums and an EP from 1996 to 2002 before breaking up. The band teased a comeback earlier this month, announcing that both new music and live shows were on the way.
In a pre-show interview with Billboard, Reeves described Dogstar as “something that’s part of my life.” Discussing the impetus to reunite the band, he explained, “I missed playing together, I missed writing together, I missed doing shows together.

Ever since John Wick: Chapter 4 became a franchise-best as it gathered enthusiastic reactions across the board, and a billion dollars at the box office, Lionsgate kept asking the filmmakers if they’re back. And they haven’t really had an answer. But, now, yeah. They’re thinking they’re back! While Chapter 4 slyly left it up to interpretation on whether or not John Wick is truly out of commission, the door was cracked open enough so that if Chad Stahelski and company decided to return for another round of bullets and fists, they could. Additionally, it had been reported that after the opening performance of Chapter 4, Lionsgate was begging for more with Keanu Reeves in the titular role, even though he’s already set to make a small appearance in the upcoming spin-off, Ballerina.

Lionsgate’s motion picture group chair Joe Drake teased development of a fifth movie in the studio’s John Wick franchise Thursday during a Q4 earnings call that has fans abuzz.
“What is official is that, as you know, Ballerina is the first spinoff that comes out next year. We’re in development on three others, including five and including the television series, The Continental, which will be airing soon,” he said. “We’re building out the world and when that five movie comes, it will be organic — will be organically grown out of how we’re starting to tell those stories. But you can rely on a regular cadence of John Wick.”
The March 24 release of the Chad Stahelski-directed John Wick: Chapter 4 was another hit for the assassin franchise starring Keanu Reeves, topping $363 million globally. Its success instantly raised questions about the potential for a fifth film...

This post contains spoilers for "Fast X."
When you think about it, it's kind of ridiculous that Keanu Reeves hasn't appeared in the "Fast & Furious" franchise. Alongside former stunt performers turner directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, the man helped redefine action for the modern age with "John Wick" back in 2014, and has been steadily justifying his place at the pinnacle of the genre with each successive film in that saga.
As the "John Wick" films have ventured further and further into all-out action blockbuster territory, they've begun to mirror the trajectory of the "Fast" franchise, which itself pivoted from a street racing theme towards over-the-top action spectacle with its fifth installment. Now, the "Fast & Furious" movies represent one of the biggest action properties in Hollywood, while the "John Wick" series recently cemented its own status within that same pantheon by crossing $1 billion at the global box office.

Buffy fans are supporting Charisma Carpenter after her criticism of spin-off show Angel.
The actor, who played Cordelia Chase in both series, shared her view on the spin-off after being tagged into a Twitter post depicting an old photo of actor Matthew Perry and his mother, Suzanne.
The Twiter user drew a comparison between Perry’s mother and Carpenter, writing: “Here we have #MatthewPerry with his mother #CharismaCarpenter.”
Carpenter responded to the tweet, stating: “Just as problematic as Angel season 4. Only this time I gave birth to someone older than me and is some kind of Keanu Reeves hating demon.”
The actor was referencing two things: one, Perry’s recent comments about the Matrix and John Wick actor Reeves in his memoir.
The Friends star raised eyebrows after repeatedly questioning why other actors die while Reeves is still alive. He later apologised for the comments, saying in a statement: “I...

In the great words of Keanu Reeves, “Whoa.”
That is all that can be said about this latest news about the long-awaited Constantine sequel.
In 2005, Warner Brothers attempted to adapt the comic Hellblazer. The property involved the main character named John Constantine— a street-smart con man who also battles demons.
Reeves teamed with director Francis Lawrence to bring the source material to the big screen with mild results. The film had a budget of 100 million and grossed 75 million domestically (230 million globally). Since then, the movie has taken on a life of its own, much like Keanu Reeves’ career post John Wick.
A sequel is something Reeves has wanted for a long time.
Well, he finally got his wish.
Constantine 2 is in development
Deadline has it confirmed that Reeves will reprise his role as John Constantine after 17 years.
