Keanu Reeves reveals the one director he would still love the chance to work with, choosing a lauded three-time Oscar nominee for Best Director.
Keanu Reeves reveals the one director he still really wants to work with. Reeves has had a lengthy career, working with various acclaimed directors. Early in his career, he worked with Francis Ford Coppola on 1992's Dracula, Kathryn Bigelow on Point Break, and Gus Van Sant on My Own Private Idaho. Reeves' career would also see him work with Ana Lily Amirpour, Richard Linklater, the Wachowskis, David Ayer, and Francis Lawrence.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While answering questions on a Reddit AMA, Reeves was asked about actors or directors he would still love to work with. He answered, "Let's go with David Fincher today." Reeves has never worked with Fincher but clearly admires the director's work, choosing him from a crowded field of creatives as the one director he would still love to work with at some point.Could Keanu Reeves & David Fincher Ever Work Together? Fincher has had a successful career directing films that connect with critics and audiences, even when delving into morbid territory. He first gained notoriety with 1995's Se7en, a gritty movie about detectives pursuing a serial killer.
Fincher also became known for his meticulous nature, often filming far more takes of a scene than most directors, with reports that he may do over 100 takes. It's a technique that's been utilized by many directors, including Stanley Kubrick, whose own style, inspired the Wachowskis. While working on The Matrix franchise with the Wachowskis, Reeves underwent a similar shooting style, often doing dozens of takes, which seemingly could prepare him for Ficnher's style.
However, beyond Reeves being capable of handling Fincher's directing style, the two often gravitate toward similar themes in their work. Fincher often dabbles in bleak subjects but likes to explore the ideas of alienation, feminism, toxic masculinity, and dehumanization. And while Reeves' resume is quite eclectic, he has also ventured into those themes with films like The Matrix, Thumbsucker, A Scanner Darkly, To the Bone, and Knock Knock, among others.
