Kevin Costner as Neo? <shiver>

I love the Matrix movies, but I don’t like Keanu Reeves. Never really have, at least in the role he’s playing in Matrix. But I hate him less than I do Kevin Costner, who was seriously considered for the lead role in the Matrix series. I had heard rumors a LONG time ago that Jet Li was wanted as well, but turned it down. Instead, they got stuck with a guy that, really, has done some crappy movies. I’m sorry, but Keanu will always be Ted Logan or Tod Hawkes, in my mind.

Oh well … I know what I’ll be seeing on November 5th.

Update: Welcome to all the folks from Jon’s Matrix Name Generator. He was kind enough to link to me, even though I haven’t seen revolutions yet (don’t hold it against me — I haven’t had time to make it to the theater yet). BTW: My Matrix Name is Cairo 🙂

One of my friends made the comment that she thought Keanu was hot. Hysterical laughter ensued.

Your friend needs to be beaten senseless. Carrie Anne Moss is DAMN hot, however.

D says:

Wot do u mean u don’t like Keanu. U need help!

eetmee says:

I heard Leo TheCrappio was considered for the role. Jees.

Bruce says:

I heard there’s going to be a gay pron version of Matrix and Neo and Morpheus are lovers.

Aiste says:

Xerm… you don’t like Keanu????
Strange… I

Bruce: That’s just wrong.

eetmee: That’s even more wrong.

Why is it wrong, Jake?

What, that Leo was considered for the role or that somebody is considering a gay porn matrix? I just think they are two things that should never happen, that’s why 🙂

Bruce says:

Leo is wrong for ANY role. A wooden plank is a better actor.
As for the Matrix gay porn, the basic plot is that Neo thinks he is in love with Trinity but in actuality he is in denial for Morpheus. Eventually Neo and Morpheus declare their love for one another and get it on.

kC says:

how bout Vin diesel as Neo? (all those kicks and powerpunches! sweeet!)

Kiarenne says:

I like KR 10 million times better that Leo…Kevin C. is not bad but maybe too old for me…hmm, maybe Jet Li must have done better that KR but too bad he turned it down! – But still KR have done a pretty good and acceptable job

weatherman says:

I like Keanu Reeves as Neo– the image fits him well (i can’t really vouch in the way of acting, i just feed on the visuals) but but but I can imagine Jet Li really kicking asss as Neo. Kevin Costner, uhm, naw he wouldn’t do for me. Absolutely. Brrr 🙂

ImbySill says:

Brad Pitt would be a good Neo. Just the right amount of “ham” in his acting style.

Oh come on, what is done cannot be undone. Afterall the last instalment of the movie is already out, what more is there to say? Seriously, Reeves is ok as Neo, don’t forget our hero aka The One is a deep and troubled one (right from the beginning where he wonders what is the matrix till the very end), so i guess all that expressionless acting suits the character, Neo.

neo's cool says:

Trinity is so dam’n hot I want to have sex with her.hhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooootttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neamer says:

I don’t think The matrix saga would have done as well if it wasn’t for K.C. he brings neo to life by being able to relate to the whole nieve thing. Jet Li is too good in fight scenes but you don’t think of K.C. as one to be able to pull that off. Oh, and trinity is not hot you would think they could actually find somebody with a nice face and bodylike Jessica Alba but then again she looks too good for K.C. and then wouldn’t fit in.

j408 says:

jet li turned that role down to be in that matrix because he was currently busy making a movie “the one”

AD says:

The only actor that could have played Neo was the late, great Brandon Lee.

Meredith says:

I thought Kevin Costner was Hot in the first and second Matrix movies, and then I read a cupple of books on him and I found out some really sick news….Kevin Costner is a Homosexual.

KevinHater says:

Wow……….I mean, sure, i hate Kevin Costner, but i didn’t know he was gay…..I mean, he kisses a lot of chicks in his movies…… and when he kised that french chick in Matrix Reloaded, he looked like he was enjoying it…….

Jasmine says:

Keanu Reeves is so DAMN HOT cause he can fight and he look good. I will never forget any of your movies. U make smile when I see you in movies. You are one sexy man. Carrie Anne Moss is hot too and you and her make a good team. U people stop hating Keanu Reeves cause your man don’t look like him. Forget Yall. Keanu a.k.a Tha One.

mahsa says:

I LOVE YOU KEVIN

Justice says:

Keanu is so so hot

yeah says:

Kevin Costner isn’t homosexual he has a wife and kids.

lynx says:

Matrix movies are the best…

Ian Burleson says:

Hey, Kevin I think your best movie is Three Thousand Miles to Graceland, but now your a** is just flat out weird. Change your act and start acting in a little more movies, no I change that dont, I dont want to see your face; nobody does. Get lost and never come back do you hear me. Dont you never act in another movie, you suck.
