For relaxing times, make it Suntory time. Sofia Coppola has gone back to the renowned Japanese whisky Suntory to direct an ad for its 100th anniversary, with none other than Keanu Reeves leading the way.
In the Suntory ad, we see Keanu Reeves enter a bar as Joan Jett’s cover of “Crimson and Clover” is played on vinyl. From there, Reeves takes a seat with locals and enjoys a pour of the whisky, leading into a montage of various stills and clips, including some from Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation.
Sofia Coppola’s 2003 Oscar winner and WGA favorite Lost in Translation of course featured Suntory in one of its best scenes, with Bill Murray’s has-been actor Bob Harris sitting through a spot with a native Japanese director. But the Coppola connection goes back decades before, as her father, Francis Ford Coppola, appeared in a 1980 Suntory ad directed...

Keanu Reeves‘s films are well-known for their thrilling and captivating nature. I recall being a teenager and experiencing his magnetic performance in “The Matrix” for the first time. Keanu’s ability to effortlessly blend talent and charisma, all while embodying a mysterious allure, had my heart pounding as if I were Neo, evading bullets.

Universal Pictures is reimagining Dracula again, this time from the point-of-view of R.M. Renfield, fly-eater extraordinaire!
There’ve been many attempts at telling Dracula’s story, his perspective, even his origin. But what, some might ask, of Renfield? What of the fly-eating lunatic who worships vampires and the blood of rats inside Dr. Seward’s asylum?! What about his side of things? Well, we’re about to find out what that might look like as Variety reports Universal Pictures is reimagining one of Dracula’s victims as the hero of his own story.
R.M. Renfield, who to many is still best remembered for Dwight Frye’s wicked laugh is the subject of a new treatment first pitched by Robert Kirkman. The Walking Dead comic series creator came up with a story which has since been written as a script by Rick and Morty’s Ryan Ridley.

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday.
This week’s question: “John Wick” actor Keanu Reeves has been a movie star for almost 30 years, and low-key perhaps one of the defining Hollywood screen presences of that time period.
What is his best performance, and how does it speak to his unique persona?
“Bram Stoker’s Dracula”
Lindsey Romain (@lindseyromain), Nerdist
I’m cheating a little, because it may not be his best, but it’s certainly my favorite. I was mostly unaware of Keanu Reeves’ before his turn in “Bram Stroker’s Dracula,” which remains in consistent rotation in my own personal cinematic library. I love him in the film, as daffy and poorly accented as he is. I find him beautiful, fascinating, and wholly his own in the role of Jonathan Harker.
“Constantine”

The year 1979 was a good one for vampires, cinematically speaking. John Badham's version of "Dracula" premiered starring Frank Langella in the film version of his Broadway hit, George Hamilton had a surprise success with the spoof "Love At First Bite" and German director Werner Herzog unveiled his remake of the classic German silent horror movie "Nosferatu: The Vampyre". The original version by director F.W. Murnau is still regarded by many as the greatest horror movie ever made. Indeed, the mere sight of the film's star Max Schreck (who was as eerie in real life as he was on screen) is enough to give you nightmares. Herzog's version was not only the best of the vampire films released in 1979, it is a fitting homage to the Murnau classic. Working with a relatively extravagant budget, Herzog produced a film that is eerie and unsettling. He refrains from going for quick shocks,...
