Actor Keanu Reeves is said to be in negotiations to star in film `The Panopticon` under the direction of Tarsem Singh.

`The Matrix` actor is in talks with Good Universe to take on the lead role in the upcoming action-thriller, reports contactmusic.com.

The film is based on a script by Craig Rosenberg in which a seemingly ordinary man receives a mysterious package containing a message he'd pre-recorded for himself to warn that the world is about to end and only he can save it.

Reeves, who is best known for playing the role of Neo in `The Matrix` trilogy, was last seen in thriller `John Wick` and recently wrapped filming on `Knock Knock` and courtroom drama `The Whole Truth`.

He is now shooting indie film `Daughter of God` while he's also attached to star in Tanya Wexler's `Replicas` and Brian Kirk's `Passengers`.
