Hmm I’m not a big Keanu fan either so I’m a little worried about this adaptation. I’m also sorry that it doesn’t look like it will be a period film, especially because the BBC already has a fantastic modern retelling starring James Nesbitt!

Just watched Bright Star 2 nights ago. Loved it! I LOVED Fanny’s outfits. This was a great movie!

Same here Charleybrown, I would be much more entusiastic about an historical movie…

Aw, why are you gals so hard on Keanu? I loved him in A Walk in the Clouds and in The Lakehouse, as well as The Matrix (but I know what you mean). I was disappointed to hear that Jekyll was going to be a modern retelling. I seem to be hopelessly stuck in the past!

I completely agree, Anorthite! I liked Matrix but it’s true that it helps when Reeves doesn’t have much to say in a movie. ;-) I’m really looking forward to Del Toro’s version of the story.
The embedding of the video was disabled and I didn’t noticed… Just upload another and gave the link to the original one. The images are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the movie.

Keanu Reeves is only good when he doesn’t have to say much and just sits there looking pretty. Hence the Matrix is actually a good role for him. I have a hard time believing he can encompass two such characters as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde….and yet the idea of it being a modern retelling perks my curiosity.
The other looks amazing. And those flowers – so gorgeous! The trailer doesn’t work so I’m off to google it, but thanks for the review.
