Keanu Reeves might have become an action star with the John Wick series, but he was a sci-fi darling long before that. The Matrix proved how powerful storytelling can be masterfully blended with stunning visuals and provide something new to viewers. Meanwhile, for Reeves, i solidified his status as a big movie star. Since then, the actor hasn’t starred in many sci-fi titles, and the last one, The Matrix Resurrections, bombed at the box office. But now, he is ready to make a comeback to the genre that defined him.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 61-year-old actor is set to star in the new sci-fi film titled Shiver, which is described as a cross between Edge of Tomorrow and the shark thriller film, The Shallows. Although not much has been revealed about the plot, the story chronicles the journey of a smuggler in the Caribbean Sea who is trying to complete a mission.
However, things turn upside down, and he suffers a betrayal that turns out to be fatal. As things get intense, he gets stuck inside a time loop and must find a way to get out of the chaos. The upcoming film is helmed by Tim Miller, who is known for directing the first Deadpool movie in 2016, while Ian Shorr serves as the screenwriter.
It would be fascinating to see how Miller and Reeves tackle the script penned by Shorr. Edge of Tomorrow turned out to be a massive hit and earned positive reviews. If Reeves and team manage to do what Tom Cruise did with the aforementioned title, fans might be in for something special.
For Reeves, this sci-fi epic might be another chance to return to the genre with a bang. The Matrix Resurrections flopped at the box office and could only make $160.2 million globally on a production budget of $190 million. However, Reeves’ return to sci-fi gives him a chance to redeem himself and remind audiences of his enduring appeal.
