Keanu Reeves to star in the movie about Weezer

According to Hollywood insider Jeff Snyder, the musical comedy will tell the story of the confrontation between two bands — Weezer and Dogstar, in which Reeves is the bassist.

The movie is expected to be made in the genre of the musical biopic with elements of satire and comedy. Reeves will be the antagonist in the movie.

Interestingly, in the early 90s, the two bands were quite friendly, and Weezer's first concert took place as an opening act for Dogstar. But then the bands had a bad blood fight.

In addition to Keanu Reeves, the cast will also include Juliette Lewis, Eric Andre, Johnny Knoxville, and Ben Schwartz, as well as Weezer's musicians.

As a reminder, the first official teaser of Wednesday Season 2 has been released, and the premiere date has been announced.  Also, Netflix will film the sequel to Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood with Brad Pitt in the main role.
