Keanu Reeves and Denise Richards set for Euro road trip movie

Keanu Reeves and Bond girl Denise Richards are being tipped to star in the Swedish-backed thriller The Devil's Tears.

The film is about a couple on the run from the mob and is set in the Netherlands.

Reeves' character goes on the road after trying to sell £5 million worth of jewels back to the Amsterdam company they were stolen from.

Mikael Haafstrom is directing the drama from a screenplay by Hans Aake Gabrielsson with the production likely to start in late summer.

An insider told Ananova: "What's fascinated Keanu and Denise is the cross-section of cultures as the film moves from Holland to Denmark to Sweden.

"It's the ultimate Euro road trip."

Reeves has just finished making the sequel to The Matrix.
