Keanu Reeves to star in sci-fi action flick Replicas

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Now that he's in ass-kicking mode once again thanks to JOHN WICK, Keanu Reeves has moved on to his next project, which will take him to the edge of science's limits. And beyond!

Lotus Entertainment and di Bonaventura Pictures announced today Keanu Reeves will star in REPLICAS from director Tanya Wexler. From a screenplay by Chad St. John, REPLICAS is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura (GI JOE, TRANSFORMERS Franchises), Stephen Hamel, Reeves, and Fundamental Films. Company Films’ partners Hamel and Reeves developed the script based on Hamel’s treatment. Lotus will introduce the sci-fi thriller to foreign buyers starting at the upcoming AFM. CAA is handling domestic rights.

After a car accident kills his loving family, a daring neuroscientist 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 themselves.

Production is slated for spring 2015.

Director Wexler said, “I jumped at the opportunity to work with Keanu, Stephen, and Lorenzo. I love near-future sci-fi and have always been drawn to stories about scientists on the cutting edge of technology whether that’s three years from now or 130 years ago. These are the mavericks that change our lives. This is a story about one who goes to extremes with his own family and is forced to confront that question–how far is too far?”
