Keanu Reeves and Keanu the cat. (AP) Cape Town ? Keanu Reeves' latest role is that of voicing a cat called Keanu in the movie Keanu. Keanu, which opens in US cinemas on Friday, tells the story of Clarence and Rell (Key & Peele stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele), two mild-mannered guys who pretend to be killer criminals after a gang of thugs steals Rell's kitten, Keanu. It was only after his sister convinced him to watch the trailer that he decided to take on the role.
