Countdown To Release:

Plot: Klaatu (Reeves), a humanoid alien, arrives on Earth accompanied by an indestructible, heavily armed robot and a warning to world leaders that their continued aggression will lead to annihilation by species watching from afar. A remake of the 1951 film.

This film was released April 11, 2008.

Plot: After the death of his wife, life hasn’t held much enjoyment for LAPD cop Tom Ludlow (Reeves), who has escaped the pain by getting more involved in his job. When a fellow cop is killed and the evidence points to him, however, Tom is forced to go against the very same cop culture that has been a part of his life for so long.

Plot: It’s 1999, and Thomas Anderson (Reeves) is a computer programmer by day - and a hacker named Neo by night. When he is contacted by the elusive Morpheus (Fishburne), Neo is told that the year is closer to 2199 - and the world he thinks of as “real” is nothing more than a computer simulation named “The Matrix,” used to distract his brain while his body is used like a battery to power the corrupt machines of the future. Morpheus is convinced Neo is The One, a human who is prophesied to bring about the destruction of The Matrix.

Plot: 7 years from now, the government is fighting a losing battle against addiction to a new drug - Substance D. One agent (Reeves) has infiltrated a group of drug-using friends, whose paranoia makes them terrified of each other - and of spies. There is only one problem - he’s becoming addicted himself. Based on the novel by Philip K. Dick.

Plot: John Constantine (Reeves) fights a battle most humans are totally unaware of. He knows that Heaven and Hell are waging a battle - he is able to see behind the normal, and sees the combatants hiding behind their falseness - and they see him. Now, he’s dying - but before he finally goes, he must help a woman (Weisz) who may, unknowingly, be at the center of an evil attempt to take over the world. Based on the DC Comics/Vertigo Hellblazer graphic novels.

Plot: With the machines on their way to Zion, an epic battle is about to begin for Zion’s very survival. Meanwhile, Neo (Reeves) must journey into the heart of Machine City to a final confrontation with the renegade Agent Smith (Weaving) if he has any chance to fulfill his destiny and end the War against the Machines.

Plot: Bill (Winter) and Ted (Reeves) are back. This time around, they are pitted against two evil robots in their likenesses. The robots, “Evil” Bill and “Evil” Ted are sent back in time to kill Bill and Ted before they perform at the battle of the bands. Apparently, the speech they give at the battle of the bands starts them on their way to success, and paves the way for the future to be based on them. Bill and Ted must travel through heaven, hell, and everywhere in between on their way to competing…and again saving all of mankind.

Plot: Bill (Winter) and Ted (Reeves) are having problems: if they don’t deliver a stellar oral history report, Ted will be sent to an Alaskan military school. But they’re in luck: a visitor (Carlin) tells them that life is peaceful in the future thanks to the music of their band, Wyld Stallyns…and he’s here to offer help in the form of a time machine. Now, Bill & Ted must race through time to collect famous figures from history to help them in their report - or the future is doomed.

Plot: Neo (Reeves) is The One, the man prophecised to destroy the Matrix, a virtual reality construct designed by intelligent machines to occupy humans’ minds while they cultivate them for their energy. While visions of a dying Trinity (Moss) haunt his dreams, Neo, Trinity and Morpheus (Fishburne) search for the Keymaker, who will be able to open the door to Neo’s future.
