Keanu Reeves Might Direct His Film Adaptation of BRZRKR

Keanu Reeves has been hard at work producing a film adaptation of his hit comic series BRZRKR. The Batman co-writer Mattson Tomlin was hired to write the script for this film, and now we’re learning that Reeves might actually direct it.

His decision depends on the script, which he recently got, but has not read. In an interview with Collider, Reeves said, “I got it yesterday or two days ago. I haven't read it yet.” Reeves also said that the project is still in the “early days” to consider a director. Reeves went on to say that he’s been thinking about directing the movie himself, saying there’s a “33%” chance of him jumping in as the director.

He added: "I know how it's a lot of work, but the film that I directed, Man of Tai Chi, was born, I became the director because I was part of the writing process, and I didn't want to hand it over. I was like, oh, okay. I have to direct this. I'm not quite there yet on BRZRKR. I have to read the script, but I'm also interested in having a collaborator and what they could bring to it."

I would love to see Reeves come on board to direct the movie! This really is his baby, and it’d be cool to see him bring this story to life that he’s been so passionate about.

The story is described as a “brutally epic saga about an immortal warrior’s 80,000 year fight through the ages. The man known only as ‘B’ (Reeves) is half-mortal and half-god, cursed and compelled to violence… even at the sacrifice of his sanity. But after wandering the earth for centuries, B may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it.”

There’s no release date for the BRZRKR movie yet, but a lot of fans are looking forward to it. Would you like to see Reeves direct it?
