Keanu Reeves has parted ways with his longtime manager, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
The John Wick and Matrix star had been repped by Meredith Wechter at Range Media Partners. Insiders say Reeves has made multiple changes to how he runs his business and changing management was one of those decisions recently.
“Keanu is not only an exceptional talent but a one of a kind human being. I wish him well and I am so proud of the incredibly transformative work we have done together over the past nine years,” Wechter says.
Wechter joined Range this year from Michael Sugar’s management company Sugar23 and had previously been an agent at ICM and then WME. The managing partner’s client list at Range includes Josh Gad, Jeremy Strong, Diane Lane and Night Agent star Gabriel Basso, among many others.
On the agency side, Reeves is still said to be repped by a team at WME, where he has been since 2016 after leaving CAA. And he’s still repped by attorney Scott Sims at law firm Ziffren Brittenham.
Reeves made his return to the Wick-verse this year in the Ana de Armas-starrer Ballerina, Lionsgate’s spinoff that grossed $132 million globally since its June bow. And he features in Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut Good Fortune, another Lionsgate feature that’ll bow at the Toronto Film Festival this September.
He’s taken the call to return for John Wick-related projects, including the fifth installment in the franchise from director Chad Stahelski and an animated prequel. Also on his busy slate, he’s reteaming with Speed co-star Sandra Bullock for an untitled romantic thriller at Amazon MGM that’s scripted by Noah Oppenheim. And he’ll star in Justin Lin‘s Netflix feature adaptation of BRZRKR, the comic Reeves’ co-created for Boom! Studios about an immortal warrior.
