After winning an Oscar it appears Whittaker is treating himself to a good cop / bad cop movie with Keanu Reeves. Whittaker will be the good cop and Keanu will be a bad drunkard cop.
We get the story from Yahoo!
Based on an original idea by crime writer James Ellroy, the Fox Searchlight project centers on a veteran LAPD cop (Reeves) who turns to alcohol after the death of his wife. The cop is forced to go up against his longtime mentor (Whitaker) when he is implicated in the execution of a fellow officer.
I think this may be poised to be a more over the top cop movie than point break or speed! Why the hell is Keanu cast so much as a cop? When I look at Keanu Reeves, I can see how people would cast him to be in Wyld Stallions, but how he gets tapped for so many gigs as a cop, is beyond my uinderstanding.
I think after winning an Oscar, a fair challenge would be to make an awesome cop movie with Keanu Reeves as your drunk nemesis. I cannot wait to see Keanu as a drunk cop widower; I feel this movie may warrant a drinking game. Every time Keanu takes a drink or someone talks about his dead wife you have to take a shot.
(Once we find out the name of the movie we should have a contest to name the drinking game.)
