It's in Italian, but the translation basically just says that.

So it probably won't be made, then. Dammit. Oh well, Keanu didn't sound like he had high hopes for it at this point, and they can't expect Muccino to wait forever.

So, let's see. 47 Ronin is next, and then what? What other projects did he speak about in Toronto? Something about two psychics, right? And wasn't there another romantic film, too? I tend to pay better attention when he talks about sci-fi projects. *shrug*

Could still be; I think the project was greenlit before the director came on?

I just really, really want Passengers to be made. I'll go over to Hollywood and direct it myself if I have to.

Here's what he said in the interview with Collider:

Reeves: I’ve been working with a writer named Mark Hyman on a project called It’s Not Me It’s You. It’s kind of a romantic-comedy. I’m working with a writer named Kristen Gore on another project called Psyched about two psychics who fall in love. I’m working on this film but it’s all with my partner Stephen Hamel who is doing our production company, Company Films. So, there’s other stuff trying to get done.

He didn't say much about Passengers, alas.

Here's the rest of it:

yeah, have that article. :D

arrrgh I still like Passengers the most out of all the rumoured upcoming films, and I'd just be really sad if it goes nowhere.

GO OVER TO HOLLYWOOD AND DIRECT IT, ANI. :)

well, the Italian article says that Muccino won't direct Passengers AND that 'that project, Passengers, won't be made anymore'. So... idk. Sounds like that spaceship in waiting is docked forever.

I really love that script ... *sigh*. first 'they' killed the untitled Chef project, then this :((
the economy of cinema be darned, I so wanted that movie to get made !

oh well. we'll live. but our lives will be poorer... :((

It's really a shame, but I expect there are still other projects up his sleeve.
And, who knows, maybe there's an unexpected turn of things and we get a nice surprise ... in due time... ;)

So Ani, when you get to Hollywood and are directing Keanu, will you give us all VIP passes to the movie set? So we can see the man in action up close and personal.

While directing Keanu, make sure you find a chance to show him The Not-So-Excellent Adventures of the Keanu Spawn. He'll love it. Maybe except for the part where they paint "Keanu Sucks" on the wall in Harker's blood and call them all badly acted parodies...

oh yeah, print the whole novel and give it to him, 'cause he doesn't like computers.

Let's just hope Keanu doesn't star in it.

Let's just hope he does.

I'm tempted to go in there and write what Anakin said. I hope it's not Emily Blunt though.
