The title shelter of The Lake House is a device to bring two characters from different times together, but the house itself is an interesting conundrum. Made mostly out of glass, it is hardly built for a couple or family.
Reeves and Bullock on The Lake House
“Well, the house has drapes,” joked Keanu Reeves. Sandra Bullock pointed out another glaring omission. “There’s no toilet though,” she said. “Stunning though. Stunning. But a little inconvenient when you’re shooting.”
Leave it to Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock to have a full discussion about the lack of a toilet in the set of their movie. “There were no scenes taking place in the toilet,” reasoned Reeves, to which Bullock retorted, “But see, had there been a toilet, I would have worked something out where I would have had to use it. Not the toilet but like the area. Can we just move on?”
Reeves covered for his screen lover. “[Use it] n the Architectural Digest kind of way.”
But seriously, since the house was the central location for the film, Bullock did vouch for its verisimilitude. “Structurally it was a sound house. It was aesthetically, structurally perfect. There was plumbing for the kitchen but there was just no toilet. You could have carved out a little toilet. Like something really cool, but that wasn’t apparently high on their priority list.”
