Is Keanu Reeves Made Of Plastic?

Is Keanu Reeves Made Of Plastic? I kind of figured that, after Speed Racer tanked so horribly, the Wachowskis wouldn't be allowed to make movies for at least a few more years. You know, give them time to wash the neon colors out of their brains and take different tack. But according to a pretty bizarre source--a German man who listened to a call-in radio show (and reported back to CHUD)-- the Wachowskis will again tackle a pre-existing character-- Plastic Man.

Yup, according to this random guy from Berlin, Joel Silver-- the frequent producing partner of the Wachowskis and pretty much their voice in the media-- said the trio is working on Plastic Man for a late 2009 release, with Keanu Reeves supposedly in the lead role. Oh, and the Wachowskis also want Reeves to be in all of their future movies-- because Matthew Fox in Speed Racer was apparently too emotive, and they want someone with an even more limited range of facial expressions.

Right now I'm calling a big fat foul on this story, mostly because it sounds like some German dude messing with us stupid Americans. I mean, that's fair, but we're entitled to be skeptical as long as humanly possible. If we're not, then we have to face a future in which Keanu Reeves plays a superhero who can transform into infinite shapes. Keanu Reeves is an actor who can barely crack a smile. This could be ugly. That is, if it were true. Which I can only assume, for my own sake, that it's not. Otherwise the future is just too bleak to contemplate.

    Keanu can barely crack a smile? Have you EVER watched some of his movies? I am not talking about Constantine or the Matrix. He's wonderful as a romantic hero (Walk in the Clouds, Sweet November) and he's great at comedy (Parenthood, Something's Gotta Give, Bill and Ted)..he's also a great dramatic actor..and the stuff he did in his late early/mid twenties (River's Edge, My Own Private Idaho) were great. It's a shame that the media has pigeoholed him as dumb/wooden. He is neither of these things but I believe in the last 5 yrs. after being long associated with the character of Ted and now Neo he's so worn down that it's severely affected his movie offers and acting ability. He really should be left alone. He's taken so much crap. He's the most unfairly treated actor in cinema history.

    Have you ever watched Bill and Ted? Parenthood? I Love you to Death? I think not. Reeves started in COMEDIES! Believe it, he was VERY funny when younger and, for motives we don't know really, basically stopped making funny characters after early 90s. He has great comic timing, you should watch some of his interviews. So, I am sure he would be a nice suprise for this generation that only knows him as Neo, the One.
