Keanu-Fu

From Film Business Asia comes this news: Universal boards Reeves' Man of Tai Chi.

Reeves will also appear in front of the camera, though the star will be Tiger CHEN 陳虎, a martial artist who previously worked on The Matrix with both Reeves and Village Roadshow.

The contemporary, Beijing-set story is the "spiritual journey of a young martial artist (Tiger Chen), whose fighting skills brings him to a realm opportunities and painful choices."


Sounds curious and not passing any judgment on this one yet...
