The newly energized Keanu Reeves continues to make headlines with upcoming and potentially great roles. Just a few weeks ago we told you he was teaming up with Tanya Wexler for the sci-fi action flick REPLICAS and now the actor might be landing himself a role in Tarsem Singh’s next project, a thriller titled THE PANOPTICON. You might have seen some of Singh’s past efforts; visual greats like THE CELL and THE FALL are definitely worth checking out. This film sounds a little more grounded for the ambitious director but still has me intrigued.

The Wrap reports that Keanu Reeves would play "a seemingly ordinary man who receives a mysterious package containing a pre-recorded message from himself, warning that the world is about to end and only he can save it." From there he must work to piece together the puzzle before time runs out for mankind.

Negotiations are still at an early stage so we may not get to see this dream team come together, but we can hope. Reeves' streak as of late has no doubt reminded people of just how great he can be on-screen; and let’s not even get into how cool he is off-screen (video evidence below). JOHN WICK was one of the best revenge movies I have seen in years and he recently wrapped Eli Roth’s horror film KNOCK KNOCK which sounds very interesting (and kind of sexy). It’s too bad he didn’t land the role of DOCTOR STRANGE but that’s probably just a biased opinion as I’d want to watch him in everything right now.

Here is the classic video of Reeves showing off his class; how can you not love this guy!?
