Did you watch American Ultra?the scott pilgrim kid....he would have been a great neo..
it would have been much more fantasy-ish
keanu has been so bad ass since matrix... that him being the nerd lost the appeal.. u see him as that type of character...john wick, neo....shit like that...
the appeal of the matrix was that he was a nerdy computer software guy....basically a weak nobody who became a god
someone more nerdy makes the matrix more awesome...
