The Backstage has a post up on casting news on four project one of which is Replicas. They has posted the following news about the film:
Keanu Reeves’ next film dilemma is less about matrices and more about reanimation. The seasoned actor is about to jump onto his next project: the sci-fi thriller Replicas. The Jeffrey Nachmanoff–directed feature will find Reeves donning a white coat as he takes on the role of a desperate scientist testing his limits after losing his family in a tragic accident; instead of fighting his grief he fights to reanimate them. But it won’t be all high-tech gadgetry, as Reeves’ character must also battle the powers behind his government-controlled facility, which are vehemently opposed to his experiments. Reeves is currently flying solo on the cast list, but further announcements are expected from casting directors Sharon Bialy and Sherry Thomas. Production on the resurrection feature is expected to begin this year in mid-July. In a bit of a departure from the West Coast hub, Puerto Rico will serve as home base for filming.
