`Keanu Reeves Ditches Action Hero for Comedy Role`

by

In the last ten years, Keanu Reeves has gained fame for his ruthless portrayal of dog-loving assassin John Wick. However, he is set to depart from this violent image for a new role that promises to showcase his comedic side. This upcoming project, directed by Jonah Hill, is titled “The Siberia Project“. Not only will it reunite Reeves with Cameron Diaz for the first time since their 1996 dark comedy “Feeling Minnesota”, but it will also see him abandoning his action hero persona, as there won’t be a single karate punch involved.

As stated by Roy Wood Jr., who’s featured in the film, it’s “very humorously entertaining.” He shared as many details as possible regarding Reeves’ appearance at the Sundance Film Festival, when interviewed by ScreenRant.

I had a chat with Jonah Hill, who’s both directing and starring in the movie “Outcome”. They’re almost done with it, making minor edits. I have a feeling it will be released this year. I don’t want to cause any trouble for Apple by revealing too much, but let me tell you, it’s really funny! Contrary to expectations, Keanu Reeves doesn’t do a single karate move in the entire film. Yes, you heard that right! We’re getting comedic Keanu Reeves back. As for my character, imagine Deion Sanders as a civil rights lawyer – something completely different from what I played in “Love, Brooklyn”. That’s me in “Outcome”.
