While most of the world would disagree with him, Keanu Reeves is still convinced he’s a good actor, and he does deserve credit for taking roles and chances that allow him to explore his craft, even if the results aren’t usually that impressive. He’s at it again with Generation Um, an indie drama that Variety reports he’s set to headline.
Keanu will star alongside Bojana Novakovic and Adelaide Clemens, with the film following ‘a day in the life of Reeves character and his two cohorts as they live life on the fringe, immersed in sex, drugs and indecision. As they navigate their daily routine of bars and crowds, they embark on a path of self-discovery.’
Neither the title or the plot make it sound particularly exciting. Indeed it’s the sort of indie flick there are several trhousand of each year, with each seeming to think it’s doing something new, original and speaking uniquely about modern life, and most disappearing into obscurity unseen. But hey, perhaps it’ll be great – although I wouldn’t book a ticket to see it just yet.
