Is Keanu Reeves Going to Be Plastic Man?

The MovieWeb:
Take this one with a grain of salt folks, but it seems that Keanu Reeves may be reteaming with the Wachowski brothers to bring an unlikely DC Comic’s hero to the screen – none other than the incredibly oddball Plastic Man. A scooper told CHUD that Joel Silver was on a German radio broadcast promoting Ninja Assassin when he said that the Wachowski’s will direct Plastic Man next.
According to the report, the Wachowskis wrote a proposed Plastic Man script before they created The Matrix. Furthermore, the report claims that they are aiming for a release date of the end of 2009, and that Keanu Reeves will be playing the role of Eel O’Brien/Plastic Man in the film.
Like we said, take this one with a grain of salt. It all could be true, but at the same time the idea of the Wachowski brothers following up their less-than-well-received Speed Racer with one of the stranger characters out of the DC Comics line-up may or may not be exactly what DC Comics and Warner Brothers had in mind for how to re-approach adapting their superheroes to the screen.

Oh my goodness, I hope not. There are much better superheroes to portray if that’s your thing. Plus, if he’s going to do a comic book character, I say revisit super-cool, John Constantine. Keanu was perfect in that role.

I’m not sure about that, I don’t know if he’d make it.

Not that I would ever be upset at any rather daring – if somewhat, er…overtly flexible – artistic career experiment undertaken, but….
what, pray, does this mean for the future of Library Man? …..Oh, say he isn’t shelved in perpetuity. Do.
(Suppressed laughter.)
Plastic Man, as usual, sounds intriguing and artistically challenging. I await the outcome with the usual quiet admiration, notwithstanding appropriate, if thoughtful critique, if sought.
