Keanu Reeves sci-fi thriller Shiver is an upcoming film that unites the John Wick star with Deadpool director Tim Miller, with Warner Bros. nearing acquisition of the project. Set in the Caribbean, the story centers on a troubled smuggler caught in a deadly time loop during a mission gone wrong.
A High-Concept Blend of Sci-Fi and Survival Suspense
Written by Ian Shorr, known for Infinite, Shiver is described as combining the intense time-loop narrative style reminiscent of Edge of Tomorrow with the survival tension seen in The Shallows. The plot follows a smuggler who finds himself trapped between mercenaries, drifting corpses, and sharks, forced to relive his death repeatedly until escape is possible.
Production Team and Creative Forces Behind the Film
The film will be produced by Matthew Vaughn, famed for Kingsman, through his Marv Films label, alongside producer Aaron Ryder, who previously worked on Dumb Money and All of You. For Tim Miller, this project marks a significant return to blockbuster genre filmmaking, following his record-breaking work on Deadpool, directing Terminator: Dark Fate, and creating Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots anthology.
