Multiple outlets report that Keanu Reeves is in negotiations to star in a new LEGO movie being developed as a live-action/animation hybrid at Universal. The project is described as untitled and is associated with director Josh Cooley, who previously directed “Toy Story 4.” Sources across the reports say Reeves and Cooley would be reuniting, drawing a connection to their earlier collaboration on the “Toy Story” franchise: Reeves voiced the stuntman action figure Duke Caboom in “Toy Story 4.” Polygon similarly describes the LEGO film as a mix of animation and live-action, and frames the casting discussions as another “Toy Story 4” reunion for Reeves and Cooley. Variety and Deadline note that Universal has not provided a comment on the project and its casting status, indicating the deal is still in active talks rather than finalized. The reporting broadly characterizes the film as a toy-franchise-inspired tentpole under Universal’s backing, but specific plot details and production timelines are not established in the available coverage.
