Into the mind of Keanu Reeves we go with Man of Tai Chi,
the actor's first go at a directorial role. None too surprisingly,
Reeves' project embodies the theme of martial arts — a motif that
launched his career in '99 with the utterance of a simple, unnecessarily
staccato phrase: "I know kung-fu." But what does raise a few eyebrows
is just how affixed the Matrix vet is to the sidelines in the above trailer, in which he also stars.

Reeves plays the mastermind behind a nefarious fighting ring,
attempting to transform a noble fighter (Tiger Hu Chen) into a savage
killer. While the trailer serves up a healthy dose of fisticuffs and
fancy footwork, Reeves sticks firmly to the shadows, unraveling his
villainous ploy as the young men around him risk their lives in the
ring. There are hints that Reeves might step into the action, but do we
think he'll relive his high-flying Neocity in Man of Tai Chi?
