Keanu Reeves‘ new time-loop thriller is rounding out its cast. Deadpool director Tim Miller is set to helm the film, which will be Reeves’ first original action movie since he made his debut as John Wick twelve years ago. Now, the film’s added a female lead from last summer’s high-octane hit F1, as well as a bevy of supporting cast members.
According to reports, the film’s female lead is Callie Cooke, who played butter-fingered tire gunner Jodie in F1, will play the film’s female lead, a scientist. Reeves will star as a smuggler who gets double-crossed by his compatriots in hazardous Caribbean waters, and subsequently finds himself trapped in a Groundhog Day-style time loop, forced to dodge deadly mercenaries and ravenous sharks, over and over again; it’s being touted as Edge of Tomorrow meets The Shallows. The film was originally entitled Shiver, but the search is apparently on for a new title. It’s now shooting in the Dominican Republic with the use of massive water tanks, and is set to complete additional filming in the UK later in the year. It will be released in theaters on August 13, 2027.
