At almost 60 years old (and yes!), Keanu Reeves can boast a rich and very eclectic filmography, from independent auteur films to schoolboy comedies and sci-fi blockbusters.
We can talk about three franchises that marked his career as symbolic of the different stages of this original journey. First up is Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, released in 1989, a film that would lead to two sequels in 1991 and 2020.
This is a light comedy in which two young musicians with little interest in school at least have the opportunity to prepare their presentation in a very unique way, traveling through time with the help of a phone booth.
A film that could have left Keanu Reeves in this register, before the actor took another dimension in the 90s with successful films like Dracula, Speed or The Devil’s Associate. A decade that will end with the release of the first part of the Matrix quadrilogy, in which the actor plays the young computer hacker Neo.
After a more hollow period, it’s the birth of a new John Wick franchise released in 2014 that is sure to revive Keanu Reeves’ career. A worldwide success, it will lead to two sequels in 2014 and 2019, and soon a fourth chapter, which will be partially set in the French capital.
