VIP Access Exclusive: Street Kings interviews

by Stevie Wong

As I reported last week, I got the chance to talk to director David Ayer (Harsh Times, Training Day screenwriter) and Keanu Reeves for the film Street Kings.

Based on the original screenplay, "The Night Watchmen" by James Ellroy (LA Confidential), director David Ayer has created an updated version about an LAPD detective named Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves) who delves into the darkness of the crime ridden streets of LA to investigate the homicide of a fellow policeman. Along the way, Tom discovers that there are larger forces trying to stop him from finding out the true nature of his friends death.

The end result is a truly gritty, violent mystery with Keanu in a role that we've never seen him tackle before.

And boy did I have some questions about the film, check out my talk with director David Ayer below:

After David, I had even more stuff to ask lead actor Keanu. He was really nice considering I was kind of grilling him about some of the issues I had with the film. The interview turned out pretty interesting, if you ask me.
