Keanu Avenges Dog's Death and Wows Fantastic Fest

If anyone needs a career resuscitation, it's Keanu Reeves. Although he did praise-worthy work with his underseen-and-appreciated 2013 directorial debut Man of Tai Chi, the gargantuan calamity that was 47 Ronin proved to be a large nail-in-the-coffin for the star. Enter his forthcoming hitman action-thriller John Wick, seemingly out of nowhere. After premiering at Fantastic Fest over the weekend, twitter lit up with raves about the film, which is apparently directed by his Point Break stunt double! The trailer makes it out to be a throwback to the bullet-ridden action flicks of the '90s, which is fine by me; any film that has Keanu uttering the line, "That dog was a final gift from my dying wife" must be kinda fun, right?

Trailer: Hanna

I'm not really a Joe Wright advocate - there are a few cool visual moments in Atonement (the beach tracking shot, primarily); The Soloist was just Oscar-baitin' pap - but I'm getting pretty hyped for his forthcoming hitman thriller Hanna. Starring Atonement's Saoirse Ronan as a teenage girl who is trained to be assassin by her father (Eric Bana), the film, according to Wright, will have a less conventional approach to its action scenes. He said he looked Robert Bresson's Pickpocket for inspiration, and if you know Bresson, he doesn't, by any means, do "action". The only thing I'm not too keen on is the Chemical Brothers soundtrack (and maybe Bana's Irish accent)... Here's the trailer:
