Who knows if he really was behind the idea.Writer Jon Spaihts said that Keanu was 'instrumental' in the story's development; while the initial idea came from Spaihts, he developed it with Keanu's collaboration. Keanu was very enthusiastic about the script (it was his pet project) and as of 2014 was still desperately trying to get it made. He didn't lose interest, but was kicked off the movie when Sony bought the script and decided to go in a different direction.even if the final movie isn't making the best impressions.

I really preferred the original script that got released (and that made #3 on the 2007 Black List of the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood). They changed a few crucial plot points in the movie that made it more generic and took away a lot of its brilliance, plus made it more morally iffy (in a bad way) than the original story. It was this delightfully twisted dark psychological thriller that ended up being a stalkery romance in space, and I'm still sad at what could have been.It's up here, if you want to read:-It's the question that drives us. I know the answer is 42. Keanu was first interested in the script 'Shadow 19' by Jon Spaihts, but that didn't manage to get made.

He asked about other ideas Spaihts had, and he presented Keanu with a few. One included a story including a scene with a guy stranded in space. Keanu wasn't into the rest of the story but thought that particular image was fascinating, and asked if Spaihts could do something more with that. So they had a phone conversation, Spaihts riffed off some ideas, and along the way they came up with what eventually became Passengers. Spaihts wrote the script out in full, Reeves loved it, his production company got attached to develop it, and they spent the next few years trying very hard to get it made.

At one point they were almost good to go, but things fell apart.Eventually, Sony bought it over but dropped Keanu as lead and producer, to his disappointment. Most likely he was too old - the role called for someone in his early to mid 30s, and Keanu had just passed 50. Keanu's production partner Stephen Hamel stayed on.The script went through a few revisions and plot changes (for the worse, IMO), they got Pratt and Lawrence on board, doubled the budget, and there you go.-It's the question that drives us.
