PARK CITY, Utah (AP) – From Kevin Bacon to Lily Tomlin, stars say they can’t get enough of the Sundance Film Festival.
Keanu Reeves, coming off his hit “John Wick,” stars in Eli Roth’s psycho-sexual horror movie “Knock Knock.”
“It’s really exciting to start 2015 off with a premiere here at Sundance,” he said. “Just meeting with other filmmakers, you know you’re passing people. You’re seeing people that you’re like, ‘Hey I love your work. I love that movie. What are you doing?’ You’re talking to show and business. It’s just great to – and also you’re seeing people that you haven’t seen for a while so – the family, the team is getting back together again. So there’s a lot of it that’s really great.”
Bacon walked the festival’s crowded Main Street with wife Kyra Sedgwick, noting that he first visited in 1989 with her.
“It was coming back to me today, because our journey form upper Main Street to down here was – you know – it’s a pretty intense kind of trip – and it was so mellow, man. It was just a handful of people there,” he said. “We kind of strolled into the theater and we watched The Big Picture and talked about it a little bit afterwards and eventually we went home and I never could have imagined what it would become.”
