The Hollywood Reporter has a lengthy article and interview with SGG director Nancy Meyers (minimal Keanu content, but interesting nonetheless)....
"I was just blessed in terms of the actors that wanted to sign on to this project. I was blessed with Frances McDormand in a small part (of Keaton's sister). She wanted to be in this movie, which was really very flattering to me. And Keanu also saw it as an opportunity and I will forever be grateful to that guy. He gives the movie so much, I think. Really perfect casting."

Posted by: laura on December 12, 2003 06:53 AMInteresting interview. Sounds like Nancy Meyers was just as smitten as we all were. But then, who wouldn't be? I wonder if this article is some kind of "Hollywood make-up thing". Because I think Hollywood Reporter is where I read a lukewarm review earlier this week.
Nice words about Keanu's acting in today's CNN review and the New York Times review too. Too bad Roger Ebert "didn't get it".

"But these specific things didn't happen to me. I thought I would lie for a while and say, 'Nothing's true except the Keanu part (where his handsome young doctor character falls head over heels in love with Keaton's character)."
