I´d like to embrace K. and wish him all the best.
Keanu will make it, he will find a better female lead!

First of all, "feuding"? That sounds atypical.

No doubt he has a temper and a stubborn streak. Pretty sure no one can tell him what he should/should not do. Once it is in his head a certain way you won't get him to budge. Stubborn folk are like that.... *looks around shifty-eyed*

That's funny, Axie!

Gosh darned stubborn folk, sez Little Ms Taurus. And remember, it's not stubbornness, it's clarity. Yup.

The Weinstein Company let the project go after Reese Witherspoon and Rachel McAdams bowed out

Focus Features is riding to the rescue of “Passengers,” the upcoming Keanu Reeves film that was postponed this month after Rachel McAdams exited the project, an individual familiar with the situation told TheWrap.

A representative for Focus declined comment, as did producer Ben Browning.

In a splashy deal, The Weinstein Company acquired U.S. rights to the project out of Cannes last year, but TWC recently withdrew its involvement after Rachel McAdams left the project following Reese Witherspoon's exit.

Focus Features is now close to signing a deal to handle domestic distribution, according to an individual with knowledge of the project.

Reeves stars as a passenger on a spacecraft transporting thousands of people to a distant planet. Due to a malfunction in a sleep chamber, he awakens years before anyone else. All alone on the vessel, he decides to wake up another passenger.

The script, which is being positioned as a sci-fi romance, is out to several prominent actresses and the film's backers are confident that a replacement for McAdams will be found shortly.

“Game of Thrones” director Brian Kirk will make his feature directing debut from a script by “Prometheus” writer Jon Spaihts. Wayfare Entertaiment will finance and produce the film. Wayfare's Ben Browning will produce with Reeves and Stephen Hamel.

“Passengers” will be produced and financed by Browning's Wayfare Entertainment and Stephen Hamel's Company Films, while Reeves will also produce. Production is slated to start later this year in Germany.

Heading into last year's Cannes Film Festival, Exclusive Media's international sales chief Alex Walton described “Passengers” as “big in terms of scale and ambition, and more than that, a big movie in terms of commercial potential.”

The deal with Focus is being negotiated by domestic sales agent CAA.
