The story, whether true or not, is Keanu rode on his motorcycle through the night to personally take the screenplay to River to read.

I believe that's true , I read it on River's biography ...

Cinematic Paul Revere

More than likely true. That is so Keanu lol.

[@freddybeer]

I found this movie okaaaay... I know there are tons of people that love and appreciate this film but I personally couldn't connect with it in any sort of form. But I will say that Gus directing in this Flick was top notch.
