In a move that could only be described as “Goslingesque,” Keanu Reeves channeled the spirit of Baby Goose recently, vacating his seat on the subway to make way for a woman holding a bag — even though Keanu was holding a bag himself! It’s like he doesn’t even think of himself, only others! Seriously though, the YouTube video is entitled Keanu Reeves: Gentleman or Douche?, and I can’t imagine how that’s even in question. The fact that he’s even riding the subway in the first place means he’s a pretty down-to-Earth guy. He’s a multi-millionaire movie star. I can barely stand to be around those scuzz-toting peons myself, and I’m not even a ten thousandaire. If I was Keanu Reeves, there’s no way you’d catch me on public transportation without a gas mask and at least three bodyguards carrying crossbows. I rode those subways for three years, and if there’s one thing I learned, it’s that breathing poor people air makes you ugly.
So Keanu Reeves is back talking Bill & Ted’s sequels again. We first heard about it (again, from Keanu) in March of last year when it was brought up as a joke. When Keanu responded by saying he was actually trying to get a sequel greenlit for real, it was hard to tell whether he was kidding (it’s Keanu Reeves, it’s always hard to tell which emotion he’s expressing). He was talking about it again today, which means either that he’s actually trying to make it happen, or that he’s willing to tantalize the nerds with the possibility to get some ink for his new movie.
“I believe the writers are six weeks away from a draft,” Reeves told MTV News during an interview today to promote “Henry’s Crime,” his upcoming movie co-starring Vera Farmiga.
He speaks of course of original writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, who, after Bill & Ted, would go on to pen such classics as Imagine That, and Mr. Wrong, starring Bill Pullman and Ellen Degeneres. By the way, if history is any guide, we’re always six weeks or less from a finished script from them.
Then Reeves opened up considerably, revealing that the plot ties directly into the ending of “Bogus Journey,” when Bill and Ted’s Wyld Stallyns became the best band in the universe.
“When we last got together, part of it was that Bill and Ted were supposed to have written the song that saved the world, and it hasn’t happened,” he said. “So they’ve now become kind of possessed by trying to do that. Then there’s an element of time and they have to go back.” [via MTV News]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, the plot involves time travel? How about a “SPOILER ALERT?” Anyway, it doesn’t sound like there’s a studio involved yet, and I wouldn’t get your hopes up (hopes, expectations, whatever) until that happens. Either way, the important thing is that Alex Winter already has a real job and isn’t dead from drugs like Corey Haim or out killing joggers for their meat like DJ Jazzy Jeff, or Lights Camera Jackson.

REAL NEWS CAN WAIT! I HAVE NEW KEANU REEVES PICTURES TO PHOTOSHOP! Supposedly these are from the set of Keanu’s upcoming film Generation Um, but I think he’s just effing with us. And you know what? I love it. As wooden an actor as he’s always accused of being, I’ve always said he was legitimately good in The Gift. And that said, he’s a thousand times better at eating food on a park bench. Okay people, let’s have some fun with this.
I’d just like to take this time to thank God for Keanu Reeves, who gives us Photoshop gold almost every day. Look at him. Such a rebel. And yet it’s so effortless. Effortless rebellion, the new fragrance from Calvin Klein. [pic via BestWeekEver]
Join us for some fun and Juggalo Baby Funerals after the jump.
