 HE may have shaken off his stoner image by playing a kung-fu fighting, sunglasses-wearing saviour of the world, but the dude in Keanu Reeves remains the same. When asked how he felt about playing Neo, the champion of humanity in The Matrix Revolutions, the 39-year-old - who is best known for his surfer dude role in Point Break and stoner dude role in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure - had three words: "It was awesome."
Reeves was in Sydney yesterday for the Australian premiere of Revolutions, the final in the blockbuster sci-fi trilogy, which was also attended by co-stars Jada Pinkett-Smith and Hugo Weaving, the Sydney-based actor who plays Neo's arch nemesis, Agent Smith. It was a fittingly dark and rainy day for the reunion of the cast and crew of the film, which was mostly made in Sydney (along with its two prequels) and features many scenes shot around the city which are, well, dark and rainy.
 But that didn't taint Reeves's jovial mood after returning to the city he has called home on and off since the first Matrix was made in 1997. "It's really great to be here, I love this place, and it's exciting that the movie is coming out," he said.
Asked what he thought of the film, Reeves started talking about "epic cinema" and "revolutions of peace". "It's a beautiful role - it was really lovely to play," he said.
