#SPOTTED: KEANU REEVES, SHAMIER ANDERSON AND CHAD STAHELSKI AT THE CANADIAN PREMIERE OF “JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4”

Toronto got a huge surprise tonight as international megastar Keanu Reeves made an appearance at the Canadian Premiere of JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4. This latest Film in the celebrated Franchise, got the Red Carpet treatment and then some as The Black Academy, presented the affair at Scotiabank Theatre. The organization aims to empower, elevate and promote equality among the Black community and one of its founders, Scarborough’s very own Shamier Anderson, also happens to star in the Film as Tracker. Director Chad Stahelski also joined Anderson and Reeves for an introduction of the Screening.

While there was originally a Red Carpet set to take place at the Premiere, the unexpected passing of star Lance Reddick, who stars as Charon, had altered plans for this, out of respect. Stahelski took a moment to remember Reddick when introducing the Film to the audience.

This latest chapter in the John Wick franchise has already received much praise, with Critics calling it the best film yet out of the four films. Toronto-raised Reeves also surprised the audience at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin last week.

See highlights below:

Though bittersweet, this was such an incredible night, and a special energy could be felt throughout the theatre as everyone was processing both excitement and grief at once.

#EDITORSNOTE: MR. WILL STAR SIGHTINGS 2021

We’re lucky to have even have had the chance to partake in any star-spotting this year given the circumstances we’ve been in! And even though what we got was a reduced version of TIFF ’21 this year, we’re still thrilled that talent still came through, while production on various Series and Films also continued around town this year. And as always we’re happy to go as close as the talent want to get, ensuring safety first. One day we’ll look back and call this our “Masked Era”.

While this is only a fraction of the quantity of star sightings we’ve had in the past, we did our best to do what we do safely. Some exciting names still passed through Toronto in 2021 and we were there!

I’d have to say it was epic that Toronto’s Simu Liu exploded onto the international stage as a mega star for his work in Marvel Studios’ SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS. Not only was it amazing catching-up in person – he actually remembered my name – we also got a quick interview with him! Other names like Rebecca Ferguson, whom we’ve admire for quite a while, came through for TIFF ’21 and we’re glad we finally got to meet her properly! And when do we not get excited to see Jessica Chastain in-town? One of our highlights was getting a Selfie with Mila Kunis, whom we love, together with beanie bright and early in the AM? While concerts were scaled back quite a bit this year, we’re happy to have met some emerging names on the international scene who actually happen to be Canadian, like Mustafa the Poet and BBNo$! And how cool was it that hot off his venture into space, earning him the distinction of oldest person ever to go to space, William Shatner came to Toronto for Fan Expo Limited Edition?

Let’s take a walk down memory lane!

See some of our favourite star sightings of 2021, in no particular order!

While we will wait a bit for these case counts to go down, we look forward to Toronto being the star-studded City it once was once again!

Mr. Will

#SPOTTED: KEANU REEVES IN TORONTO FOR THE CANADIAN PREMIERE OF “THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS”

Toronto’s own Keanu Reeves got an epic welcome home tonight as the Black Carpet was rolled-out at Scotiabank Theatre for the Canadian Premiere of THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS. This fourth installment of The Matrix Series directed by Lana Wachowski, takes place some 20 years after the events of The Matrix Revolutions and we find Neo (Reeves) living an ordinary life, only to cross paths with a woman who appears to be Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss). Joining a group of rebels, he must fight a new enemy and also find again his one true love, the “real” Trinity.

Reeves is in the thick of promotions for this eagerly-awaited Sci-Fi-Action Blockbuster, just having done the rounds in New York earlier this week. Special precautions were taken at the Premiere tonight allowing only select Media who had met testing and vaccination requirements access to the Black Carpet. And while these Premieres normally include a fan pit, extra precautions were made to clear the area for social distancing amidst these unique times. The venue also was bought-out completely with all 14 screens devoted to playing the Film. Outside and inside the theatre, elaborate projections of the Film’s iconic green digital rain where displayed in high-definition taking fans right back inside The Matrix. The Premiere was brought to us by Audi, The Fairmont Royal York Hotel and IMAX.

Moss originally was slated to attend the affair as well, but sadly couldn’t make it out. Nonetheless, Toronto fans were thrilled to see their pride and joy celebrate with them.

We were incredibly lucky to be seated right beside Reeves as he chat with Host Donovan Bennett about how great it is to be back and seeing this Film on IMAX.

Some Snaps from the night:
