Our man Neo will find love in the inky blackness of space if he gets his way in a new film he is developing for Morgan Creek called “Passengers”.

Keanu will play a crewman on a long haul space cruise where everyone is in the deep freeze, metabolically speaking. 90 years before his unthaw date, Keanu awakens and is oh so alone. What’s a spaceman to do? Pick a pretty face and unthaw her thats what. Sounds easy but is ethically challenged. What if he doesn’t like her? She might also be a trifle unhappy at being awoken. What if she doesn’t like Keanu? Will she unthaw someone else? Oh the dramatic possibilities. Thanks Variety for the heads up.
