Los Angeles: Actor Keanu Reeves is in talks to lead a new Keanu Reeves Lego movie at Universal Pictures, reuniting with “Toy Story 4” director Josh Cooley, according to Deadline.
The untitled project is being developed as a live-action and animated hybrid adventure. People reported that The Lego Group is producing the film and that Reeves’ exact role has not been disclosed.
Reeves and Cooley previously worked together on “Toy Story 4,” the 2019 Pixar film in which Reeves voiced Duke Caboom, a Canadian stuntman action figure.
The project has no confirmed plot, cast list or screenwriter. Universal declined to comment on the talks.
Universal acquired the rights to the Lego films in 2020 but has not released a Lego feature under the deal. Deadline reported that the studio is pushing to commission a film within six months before the rights expire.

Warner Bros. launched the franchise with “The Lego Movie” in 2014, directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. The film led to spinoffs and sequels, including “The Lego Batman Movie,” before later entries underperformed and Warner Bros. let the rights lapse.
