Brawn renamed the team as Brawn Gp and hired drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, who had been left without a seat.

With a limited budget, a small staff and an untested car, Brawn Gp faced a daunting challenge to compete against the likes of Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull. However, thanks to Brawn’s brilliant strategy, innovative design and relentless work ethic, the...

In exchange, B will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it.

Keanu Reeves will star in a Brzrkr movie and anime series based on the popular comic book of the same name he created.

Replicas, directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, stars Keanu Reeves as a scientist who, in the midst of bringing consciousness to A.I., loses his wife and three kids in a tragic car accident that results in an obsession to collide his personal life with his work and be reunited with the family he lost. The concept is engaging but the execution in Replicas is sadly incredibly poor with a flat narrative.

The screenplay from writers Stephen Hamel and Chad St. John is condensed to trope after trope and only the final scene leaves any form of intrigue, but it comes far too late with lacklustre uneventful proceedings before. The plot itself is mildly interesting with emotionally compelling rhythm and...

A brand new trailer for Replicas is here to provide a serious dose of trippy sci-fi. And not just sci-fi. This is sci-fi with Keanu Reeves and robot clones! Reeves built up a lot of good will with moviegoers when he suited up as the assassin John Wick, but it was really The Matrix that cemented him as the icon we all know and (sometimes) love today. So seeing him return to that genre comes with a certain potential excitement. Not to say that this looks like it could be a classic like The Matrix, but there may very well be some meat on these bones.

The trailer opens up with a tragic car accident. We then transition to a seemingly normal suburban existence for Keanu Reeves and his seemingly perfect family. But things soon get weird as it's revealed that Reeves' whole family died in the accident and he...

Entertainment Studios has set a January 11 wide release for Replicas, the Keanu Reeves movie it snapped up at the 2017 Toronto Film Festival for $4M.

On that weekend next year, Replicas will come in contact with Stx/Lantern Capital’s The Upside, Focus Features’ wide break of its young Ruth Bader Ginsburg movie On the Basis of Sex and Sony’s A Dog’s Way Home from director Charles Martin Smith.

Directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff and also starring Alice Eve, Thomas Middleditch and John Ortiz, Replicas follows neuroscientist William Foster (Reeves), an expert on re-creating the human brain for what he thinks is Alzheimer’s research. He alters his research to replicate his family after they’re killed in a car accident. The script was written by Stephen Hamel and Chad St. John, and Reeves produced the film with Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Hamel, Mark Gao, and Luis Riefkohl.

Replicas Synopsis

In this sci-fi thriller, neuroscientist William Foster (Keanu Reeves) is on the verge of successfully transferring human consciousness into a computer when his family is tragically killed in a car crash. Desperate to resurrect them, William recruits fellow scientist Ed Whittle (Thomas Middleditch) to help him secretly clone their bodies and create replicas. But he soon faces a “Sophie’s choice” when it turns out that they can only bring three of the four family members back to life.

Replicas brings acting legend and genre icon Keanu Reeves back to the world of sci-fi, and it looks down right creepy. Today, we have the trailer for this thriller, which evokes a strong Flatliners tone with a little bit of Johnny Depp's Transcendence thrown in for good measure.

Entertainment Studios brings our first sneak peek at Keanu Reeves in the forthcoming sci-fi thriller Replicas. Reeves is joined by a cast that also includes Thomas Middleditch, Alice Eve, Emily Alyn Lind, John Ortiz and Emjay Anthony. The trailer strongly touts that this chiller is from the same guy that brought the world The Transformers. Judging from this first look footage, it's hard to tell if that's a good, bad, or potentially great thing. However you read it, the titles bring the news on like a threat.

Replicas has not been given a stateside release date yet, and though it looks like a very stylish thriller,...

Siberia, starring Keanu Reeves, was just picked up by Saban Films at the Cannes Film Festival to release in North America. Additionally, we now have our first look at Reeves, aping John Wick's style just a tad bit. It's hard to look at the actor and not think of John Wick at this point, especially when he's rocking the same haircut and facial hair. If that wasn't enough Keanu Reeves news for you, it was also announced this week that Bill and Ted 3 is officially happening with Reeves and co-star Alex Winter on board.

Siberia also stars Molly Ringwald as the wife of Keanu's character.
