Good news for movie buffs who want to see crews shoot scenes in the queen city.
As you might expect, Keanu Reeves travels with an entourage when out in public, members of his crew who like to shoo people away.
But, the actor was nice enough to stop and talk to me, and share a few thoughts about Buffalo.
It's not every day you see a Hollywood star wandering the streets of Buffalo. Once Kelly Morris spotted actor Keanu Reeves, she along with many others planted herself.
Sue Pawlik considers herself lucky. She got him to pose for a picture.
"He was very friendly," said Pawlik.
Reeves and his film crew spent much of the morning on Main Street, setting up shots for the filming of an upcoming romantic comedy, called "Henry's Crime."
Some of it will be shot in Buffalo, despite earlier reports that it would be filmed elsewhere.
Cynthia Workman said he gave her a hug. "I've followed his career, loved his movies. Uh, I can't think now I'm watching him!"
The police escort assigned to Reeves told me the crew was extremely focused.
Officer Jim Straus of the Buffalo Police department said, "Just a regular guy. No more comments."
The actor took a break shortly before noon and this time he agreed to a brief chat.
"Yes, it's been great to be here working on the film," said Reeves. "I've met a lot of nice people. It's great," he added.
With that, he ran into his limo bus, while his fans waited outside, eager to get another glimpse of the Hollywood star.
Reeves told News 4 that he expects to start shooting the Buffalo portion of the film in early December. It's unclear how long they'll be in town.
