2019’s Pixar fourquel Toy Story 4<\/em> gave us a great many things. Ducky and Bunny. Forky. A Bo Peep with some long-overdue self determination. It also gave us Keanu Reeves’ Duke Caboom (“Canada’s Greatest Stuntman!”), shepherded to our screens quite brilliantly by director Josh Cooley. And clearly Keanu and Cooley enjoyed the experience of working together as Variety<\/em> is reporting that they’re looking to reunite. Per the trade’s reporting, Reeves is circling the lead role in an all-new Lego movie, with Cooley \u2014 fresh from helming fan-favourite animated origin joint Transformers One<\/em> \u2014 in the director’s hottest.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Believed to be a live-action\/CG hybrid project in the vain of The Lego Movie<\/em> as opposed to a straight-up brick-based animation \u00e1 la 2017’s _The Lego Batman_Movie<\/em>, Reeves and Cooley’s proposed movie \u2014 which would mark Universal’s second foray into Lego filmmaking, following Pharrell Williams biopic Piece By Piece<\/em> \u2014 is cloaked in a shroud of secrecy for now. At this stage, we don’t know whether Keanu Reeves would be appearing in minifig form or in full live-action glory, or indeed who’s writing the movie, starring in it alongside Reeves, or what the thing is even about. In fact, as we understand it, at least a small part of the impetus for Universal’s interest in the project is an acute awareness of the fact the studio only has six months to commission a new Lego movie before the rights to the iconic toyline expire.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of any potential rights-based reasonings behind the existence of this prospective movie, even the mere notion of Keanu Reeves appearing in a Lego movie (and, by extension, us getting an actual Keanu Reeves Lego mini-figure) is incredibly exciting. The notion of getting that from a properly talented animated movie filmmaker whose last two films have been straight-up bangers is even more exciting. Watch this space for more on what we are just now dubbing The Leg-woah Movie<\/em> as soon as we get it.<\/p>\n
