Keanu Reeves is teaming up with Deadpool helmer Tim Miller are teaming up on "Shiver," a unique sci-fi package that Warner Bros. is in final negotiations to acquire.
Matthew Vaughn, the filmmaker behind the Kingsman action movie franchise, will produce via his Marv Films banner along with Aaron Ryder, who counts love story All of You and Gamestop movie Dumb Money among his recent credits.
Ian Shorr wrote the script for "Shiver," which has been described as having shades of "Edge of Tomorrow," the Tom Cruise sci-fi movie about a soldier trapped in a time loop during an alien invasion, and "The Shallows," the Blake Lively shark survival movie.
Plot details are very hazy, but the word on the street is that the story centers on a ne’er-do-well smuggler who finds himself in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea, resulting in him surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries and thirsty sharks alike.
He next finds himself a deathly time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.
Reeves is coming off the back-to-back releases of "Ballerina," Lionsgate’s John Wick spinoff, and "Good Fortune," the Aziz Ansari-directed comedy also made by Lionsgate.
He has also several tentpoles in development, including "BRZRKR" at Netflix, based on the Boom! Studios comic he co-created.
