Every Which Way But Loose + Any Which Way You Can

Dear Clint, Glad you took my call yesterday! I can’t tell you how great it was to speak with you in person again. What’s it been, almost 20 years? (Not counting your wedding–sheesh, was I wasted or what?) Anyway, like I said on the phone, I’ll be here in Sydney doing reshoots on this new Matrix picture until early June. As you can imagine, it was a real coup for me (and my agent, ha! bless him…) to get the gig. When Keanu walked, Larry Fishburne was nice enough to let my name slip to one of the Wachowskis (I forget which–can’t really tell them apart, to be honest) as a possible replacement. I was sure Jude Law was gonna get it, but I think they ultimately wanted someone older, hairier, and a little more naturally agile. Bottom line: I’m in primo shape, I’m feeling the material in a really deep way, and PLEASE keep it on the down-low, but Carrie-Ann and I have been really “getting into character,” if you dig. All that said, I took another pass through the Another Which Way We Could script you sent, and while I have my doubts about the anti-terrorism angle (those desert locations are brutal, my friend!), I do believe you’re onto something. Let’s hit the Derby for drinks as soon as I’m back in town. All my best, Clyde
