Eli Roth has confirmed that Keanu Reeves (THE MATRIX) has joined the cast of upcoming thriller KNOCK KNOCK.
The HOSTEL director and INGLORIOUS BASTERDS star has already written the screenplay, and will also direct the project. Reeves will feature as a happy husband left alone for the weekend, only for two mysterious girls to appear and wreak havoc. Ignacia Allamand (THE GREEN INFERNO) will play Reeves’ wife, while Lorenza Izzo (Hemlock Grove) and Ana de Armas (HANDS OF STONE) will play the young women set to wreck Reeves’ life.
Roth has commented on the casting news, praising Reeves for his acting talent:
“I had a window before I promote THE GREEN INFERNO and I wanted to make a movie like Roman Polanski or Paul Verhoeven made when they were young, a classic psychosexual thriller that’s not a horror movie, but would have everyone on the edge of their seats. Getting Keanu is amazing, he’s a fine actor who is perfect for this.”
Sounds creepy! What do you think? Are you a Roth fan? Let us know.
Production commences in Chile from 14th April.
