While John Wick outperformed some expectations on its US release last weekend, Keanu Reeves could still do with a real hit, as he hasn’t had a proper one since the final Matrix movie. Now he’s heading back to the world of sci-fi thrillers as Variety reports he’ll star in Replicas.
Tanya Wexler – who started her directing career with the great 1998 gay-themed film Finding North – will helm the movie, which will see Reeves as ‘a neuroscientist whose family is killed in a traffic accident and will stop at nothing to bring them back — pitting himself against a government-controlled laboratory, a police task force and the physical laws of science.’
That’s a pretty enigmatic premise, but it is rather intriguing.
The film will be looking for buyers at the American Film Market, with plans to shoot the movie next spring.
