Keanu Reeves may be a busy man of late hitting the red carpet promoting JOHN WICK 2, but we have already learnt of his next venture – and it’s different to his latest big screen offering. The actor will be starring in the romantic thriller SIBERIA from director Matthew Ross according to Variety.
It won’t be long until the cameras start rolling on this one as filming is set to start later this year. Ross, who made his directorial debut with “Frank & Lola,” is helming from a script by Scott Smith.
Keanu Reeves has taken on the role of an American diamond trader trying to sell blue diamonds of dubious origin to buyers in Russia, where the jewels and his partner disappear. He then journeys to Siberia and begins an affair with a cafe owner. IM Global is launching international sales for Siberia at the European Film Market at the Berlin Film Festival.
There’s still plenty to see of Mr Reeves on both the big and small screen with JOHN WICK 2 in cinemas soon and he will also feature in TO THE BONE, the feature debut of Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Marti Noxon. The film, which also stars Lily Collins, Carrie Preston, Lili Taylor, Alex Sharp and Liana Liberato, is based on Noxon’s real life battle with anorexia and was acquired by Netflix out of Sundance will be available to watch later in the year.
