Keanu Reeves is reportedly in discussions to join the cast of Swedish director Ruben Östlund's upcoming social satire, 'The Entertainment System Is Down'. The 59-year-old actor would be part of an international ensemble in the dark comedy, according to Variety.
Östlund, 50, won the Palme d'Or at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival for his film 'Triangle of Sadness'. His new project is set on a long-haul flight where the in-flight entertainment system fails, prompting an examination of human behaviour under such circumstances.
Reeves' specific role has not been disclosed, as Östlund has only recently completed the script. The director has been collecting anecdotes for years to incorporate into the story, which he describes as 'a study of how human beings interact in this little laboratory that is a plane'.
In addition to this project, Reeves will reprise his role as John Wick in the spin-off 'Ballerina', starring Ana De Armas, scheduled for release on June 6, 2025. He has also completed work on the comedy 'Good Fortune' with Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer, and is attached to the film 'BRZRKR', where he will play an immortal warrior and co-write the script.
