Jamie Moss says he co-wrote with Keanu


Jamie Moss said he wrote one of the initial drafts of the script with Keanu while in New York.

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6rfTQ1Lm4U

I thought it was cool to hear.

Yeah, Keanu does a lot of uncredited writing on films; he was part of the writing team that completely rewrote Speed from an earlier draft, based on his suggestions; The Day the Earth Stood Still's lie-detection interrogation scene was by him, and a few other bits from other films.

Recently he co-wrote the upcoming movie Passengers (2010 or 2011) with writer Jon Spaihts (Reeves did the story, Spaihts did the actual writing) and it's the best script I've ever read: www.whoaisnotme.net/scripts/PSG_xx_UD.pdf. Did the same for Henry's Crime, out the end of this year, and Chef, out in 2011 or 2012. He's a great writer, so I like how he's moving into that area as well.

That's a cool bit of trivia. I really liked the dialogue in this movie. There were some cool one liners.

Was there ever a thread--best lines from the movie? I'm a bit behind times and probably missed it...
