Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves had precisely one reason for wanting to makeDestination Wedding: each other.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Neither of you have really done many rom-coms in your career.
I like me a good rom-com, and the script was fantastic.
Robb Rosenfeld/Regatta
Can I just concur?
The biggest thing for me was the opportunity to get to work with Keanu again.
In a strange way, its kind of for grown-ups.
Its refreshing and sort of a challenge.
It was a special time.
Any time with Keanu is a special time for me.
This is your third movie together.
Its unimaginable without Keanu.
There is something to [the fact] that weve known each other for so long.
We started out at the same time.
For me, hes one of my favorite people to be around and to work with.
I knew the movie wouldnt work unless…REEVES:We had a rapport.RYDER:The chemistry.
We have a mutual outlook on the world.In terms of working together, were cut from the same cloth.
There is that trust; there is that facility.
There is the [feeling of] lets just roll up our sleeves.
We know each other, we love each other, were fans of each others.
Lets go play.RYDER:Exactly.
Theres just nobody I would rather be in the trenches with.
Youve both played your fair amount of rebels and outcasts in your career.
They find this mutual…REEVES:Wall-ness.
it was more physically comfortable.REEVES:You loved it because of the air conditioning?!RYDER:No!
No, no, no.
Keanu, you face down a mountain lion in one scene.
What was the reality of filming that scene like?REEVES:We had to do some acting.
Keanu, You also do this weird thing with your throat throughout, but its really never explained.
Where did that come from?
You also have a love scene out in the fields of a vineyard.
Are you done yet?
But yet theyve both connected and they have this weird…REEVES:Courage.RYDER:And straightforwardness.
Both Frank and Lindsay are extremely misanthropic and see the worst in everything and everyone.
They particularly hate weddings.
They do seem pretty presumptuous to me.REEVES:Oh, really?
In ours, they didnt.
Like, my brother got married in Muir Woods.
Theyre nice.REEVES:Thumbs up from Winona on weddings.
