Replicas Trailer – Keanu Reeves wants to clone his dead family

By

Keanu Reeves must be tired of shooting people in the head for a living, as he’s taking a break from the John Wick universe for Replicas. Alice Eve and Thomas Middleditch also star.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In this sci-fi thriller, neuro-scientist 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.’

Expect Replicas in cinemas either late this year or early 2018. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

For those who didn’t watch the first film let me summarise, and for those concerned about spoilers the story is retold within the first few minutes of the sequel.

John Wick’s wife has recently passed away from an undisclosed illness, and he receives a puppy from her a few days later. Some Russian gangsters then break into his house, beat him up, steal his car, and kill his puppy. It transpires that John used to work for said gangsters father as a legendary assassin.

The Bad Batch Teaser Trailer – Keanu Reeves is a cult leader in a cannibal wasteland

By

It’s not a good day when you end up a in wasteland inhabited by bloodthirsty cannibals. However, in The Bad Batch there’s an area of Texas that’s no longer Texas, as it’s been abandoned by the United States and they’re having nothing to do with anyone who enters it – and that’s at least partly due to the cannibals.

Plus, Keanu Reeves shows up as a cult leader.

For what sounds like a low-rent horror movie, The Bad Batch has a surprisingly good cast, with Reeves joined by Jason Momoa, Giovanni Ribisi, Jim Carrey, Diego Luna and Suki Waterhouse. It got an interesting but mixed reception at the Toronto International Film Festival, but it certainly sounds like it might be worth a watch.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The highly anticipated follow-up to [Ana Lily] Amirpour’s acclaimed directorial debut, A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT, THE BAD BATCH follows Arlen (Waterhouse) as she is unceremoniously dumped in a Texas wasteland fenced off from civilized society. While trying to orient her unforgiving environment, she is captured by a savage band of cannibals and quickly realizes she’ll have to fight her way through her new reality. As Arlen adjusts to life in ‘the bad batch’ she discovers that being good or bad mostly depends on who you’re standing next to.’

The movie is due out in the summer. [Read more…]
