Keanu Reeves and MAN OF TAI CHI Show Proof-of-Concept Camera Work
I am stoked to know that Keanu Reeves is directing his first film. I hope he pulls it off like Ben Affleck did.

I just hope when he does his fight scenes, he's not as stiff as he was in The Matrix movies. However, this does have me interested.
He has probably improved a lot in terms of fighting scenes, i just hope he could act better this time. lol
IIRC, he had broken his neck right before the prep work for the 1st Matrix started. That's why he didn't have a lot of movement or kicks. I think they used that to develop a "style" for the rest of the series.
Cool, i really like Keanu, have done since i first saw Point Break, yeah i know....but hey, you cant help what you like huh!

It's been what, 30 years and he still can't?
Not to say he isn't entertaining though. Looks neat.
Anyone else miss the days when the camera would stay kind of still so you could actually see what was going on in a fight scene? Some of the stuff they are doing now with the camera floating all over the places and the zooms in and out give me motion sickness just trying to see what the hell is going on.

Overly mobile camera takes me right out of the movie.

Agreed, Hence why I made it through about 5 minutes of cloverfield before I went to the ticket booth and asked for my money back. This whole "shaky cam" obsession that Hollywood has lately has ruined many movies for me.
I'm looking for ward to this as well; I have always been a big fan of Keanu Reeves ever since Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. I have to admit he's not an Emmy winners at most but his movies are quite entertaining...I can say I love all things Keanu; he's quite the ladies man!

"The director revealed to MTV News recently, due to cost and other concerns, they werent actually able to incorporate the rig (called the Bot & Dolly) into filming. Though they did their best to stage the action in similarly fluid, acrobatic fashion."
BTW it's Whoa and not Woah.
Keanu is such a dolt. I can't see him doing what Affleck did simply because Keanu can't even convince an audience when he acts - much less directs.
For anyone interested, he chose to direct this film rather than be Ghengis Khan that Renny Harlin was set to direct. As crazy as that sounds, only one other actor was considered for the role and he was a white guy with blondish brown hair.
