Hollywood star Keanu Reeves is in talks to headline an upcoming live-action hybrid "Lego" movie from Universal Pictures.
The film will be directed by Josh Cooley, reuniting him with Reeves after their 2019 collaboration on “Toy Story 4” where Reeves voiced stuntman toy Duke Caboom.
Produced by Jill Wilfert and Ryan Christians under The Lego Group banner, the project's plot remains strictly under wraps, though it is confirmed to blend live-action elements with animation.
The upcoming release falls under a five-year exclusive theatrical partnership that Universal and The Lego Group established in 2020.
