Keanu Reeves is heading back to the world of science fiction, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that the John Wick star has signed on to appear in Replicas, a sci-fi thriller from Lotus Entertainment and di Bonaventura Pictures.
Replicas will be directed by Tanya Wexler (Hysteria) and will centre on “a daring neuroscientist (Reeves) who, after a car accident kills his family, will stop at nothing to bring them back, even if it means pitting himself against a government-controlled laboratory, a police task force and the physical laws of science.”
“From my experience working with Keanu on The Matrix franchise through our collaboration on Constantine, I have always been impressed by (his) ability to bring a genuine level of humanity to the sci-fi genre through his performance,” states producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. “I am looking forward to collaborating with Keanu once again on this unique take on what lengths a person will go to alter the past, and the implications of those actions.”
Replicas is set to go into production in the Spring.
